My point was specifically about PA. Everyone I know personally on this board sent their kids to public school. Kids at PA are raised believing they are "too good" for public school. I just believe they view UALR the same way.
WWWWAAAYYYYY far off track side note
My kids go to public school at gibbs and it has been a great school of international studies but this year common core came in and I will be dialing down the life style and sending my kids to private school.
don't know that kids feel too good for public school but there parents want a good education for their kids and imo common core is not it.
While living in saint louis the ladies in my customer service staff worked two jobs to send their kids to private schools (Catholic) because the stl public school system was pretty bad.
My point being parents will do what they have to to get an education for their children.

I have no idea what common core is, but I know my kids got a great education in the Little Rock public schools. Both got scholarship offers from numerous colleges around the country. Lets be honest. The reason parents send their kids to private school in Little Rock is as clear as black and white.

common core is something this is going to make the haves and the have nots get wider.
Your kids would probably never have had to deal with it.
Only the regular folks in the middle and lower are going to get this fine product all but forced on them.
If you vote Democrat you will be all but forced to say it is good, cause you are helping the masses that can't think for their selves and they sure hell will not able to after CC.
