It's an interesting article, but: a) It's not all that different from 25 years ago when my parents had to do similar rounds to get me into a decent school in Madras - demand exceeded supply of good schools even then - it just exceeds supply more now. b) As someone points out towards the end of the article, education is a nightmare for parents everywhere. No doubt if they'd stayed in the US, the writer would have been moaning about having to pay astronomical prices to move to a suburb with good schools (or alternatively complaining about kids with guns in DC urban schools).
