The reasoning on both ends is thoroughly bungled at this point — what a "good" school does or tries to accomplish is pretty poorly defined and generally misguided but this idea that a mediocre childhood should not horrify a parent is peak boot-on-face culture https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1174801530635128835 …
One might ask just how bad it would *actually* be if their child had so-so nutrition, so-so friends, so-so relationships with parents and other adults, so-so conversations with people with so-so ideas... a so-so life? Is this what parental love is supposed to look like now?
How bad does the "so-so" public school have to be before a parent gets their tribal permission slip to do something else? How much of their child's wellbeing is owed to the maintenance of status of the institutional public school?
My sincere question: Is it wrong to want the best for your children? Does a world where everyone feels compelled to seek C-grade experiences for their kids actually look better than one where every parent does the best they can to find and create better opportunities for them?
Been thinking about how to ask you this for a while.. essentially I agree with you here and also wonder if you'd agree that they're growing up in a so-so society broadly defined? And what if it's ~impossible to fix school status quo before improving our societal situation?
Generally my view is that your cause re: children & schools is unspeakably important.. and it's possible that despite being "smaller" than society at large, it's a product of society and therefore intractable if attacked directly (without ~disrupting mainstream culture/society)
From behind the veil of ignorance, you would endorse meritocracy and "expect to be average", thus expect to attain "average" status. You, and everyone in society, would be better off precommitting to stoically accept whatever the outcome actually ends up being.
Trying towards an ideological turing test: "Unless you want the entire society to play a game of musical chairs—one where those left without a seat go slightly mad with the loss—and your children to live in such a society, yes."
