I am stunned how much I learned here but also learned about myself. I did live in a place that essentially was private/public schooling for my children. We - parents - volunteered like crazy. I worked full time but had a high enough position to occasionally take a paid day off. Or I simply rearranged my schedule if needed.

I researched the schools before choosing this place to live for a move to a different state. It never occurred to me that essentially these affluent neighborhoods had schools that you described as private/public. I always supported public schooling. My husband, both children and I graduated from public universities. We went to public schools k-12. But having lived in the SF Bay for many years, we needed double income. I worked in the places talked about..San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley. Two incomes gave us far higher standard of living than our parents had but we are small fry compared to the very wealthy today. We’ve lived in 3 other states besides CA. Our house was nothing to brag about in CA. Outdated, tiny lawn in the back, one level..the kitchen was a big step back in time. But you wouldn’t know by the price.
Anyway, the advertisements about “negroes ruining” a neighborhood of homes that looked perfectly maintained…jaw dropping…and even going so far as to add in other so-called undesirables..Jews, Armenians, Persians!! These same types are part of the republican party today but we all see life through our own norms. And clearly, we must step back and figure out if our ideals match our actions, and get this corrected. Thank you Robert, for letting us sit in on your very good classes.
