I agree and am saddened by this fact. I myself have sent all of my children to private schools in Philadelphia for the very same reasons. And while our children may have gotten a good education, society as a whole continues to be plagued by denying a good education to the rest of the children of Philadelphia. Our goal, if we ever want to stop crime, poverty, homelessness and everything else that is wrong with society, must be to have good and effective public schools as well as charter schools and private schools. To do any less only harms us all.
