I was addressing the teachers union, who tend to refer to them as "Our kids". Nope. Not yours.

These parents who put their children into public school and then complain about it are confused.

Are the people who drive on public roads and complain about the potholes confused as well?

When the public is paying for something they have a say.

I didn't send my kids to public school. But I was forced to pay hundreds every month in school taxes, leaving me to penny-pinch to feed and educate my own children until I had no choice but to sell our home.

And you do not see how all of this actually goes together?

So, parents like this woman get zero sympathy from me.

Your choice.

I was only wondering what was wrong with the movie.

And you got an answer.

We have to drive on the roads. But parents have a choice on whether to send their kids to public school.

This is the problem with public schools: Everyone is forced to pay for them, so everyone gets a say - and everyone will never agree 100% with each other.

>I was addressing the teachers union, who tend to refer to them as "Our kids"<

Sadly, most 'school parents' (parents who send their children to school) are willing to go right along with the teachers unions.

>And you got an answer.<

Yes, I did. I looked it up because the rating alone doesn't tell us much.

Have a good night.
