What parent do you know who is going to deliberately send his child to a rotten school? What parent do you know who isn't going to try to send his child to the best school available?

All you seem to understand is the Marxist conception of equality which lowers everything to the lowest common denominator. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
