[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 84656, member: 23"] I can understand where you're coming from with-the parent wealth factor, but I feel all our children should have equal rights to a public education. All I know about the situation is what I read in the one article. I don't know for a fact, but with all the time consuming, frustrating, aggravation that goes with fighting for a child's rights, I suspect affordability isn't his primary motivating factor. More than likely, this is a matter of principal. The way the system is, it takes parents with pretty deep pockets to fight for their child's education rights in the courts. School districts' count on parents not being able to fund litigation. It's not unusual for school districts to pool their money in order to help a school district win a particular case and set a precedent. There are successes, but more parents loose than win. NY seems to be a state that has a higher than typical rate for private education funded by school districts. It's a fairly rare event in our area -- and it's nearly always after the knock-down-drag-out battle. How long is too long to try? Every instance is different. But based on what I see, "too long" is the norm rather than the exception. [/QUOTE]
