i can see we are never going to agree here, because i happen to think it is not necessary to strip for a single mom to earn a living.

I don't, either. Why do you insist on addressing statements you only wish I have made?

i know many single moms, don't know any who strip.

So do I. They make many sacrifices and tough choices, and wish they could make more money, have more flexible schedules, or get started in a career with an actual advancement path. Most folks I know listen sympathetically and would consider it rude to say, "Well, why don't you just find a different job then?", knowing that work, family, and life in general are more complicated than a simple, black and white answer can address.

so sorry, we will just have to agree to disagree.

Or, you could actually agree that on this point, we do in fact agree. :-)

my point about the cleaning lady job was just to take the most disagreeable job imaginable (and i HAVE a cleaning lady, because i find cleaning so disagreeable!)and say i would do whatever it took, in a LEGITIMATE realm, in order to educate my child.

Maybe you should ask your cleaning lady if she is able to send her children to private school. Perhaps her perspective might be enlightening.

and perhaps it is unrealistic to think private education is possible (though, my kids catholic school does offer assistance to those who cannot afford the tuition) but public education supplemented by PARENTAL instruction in morals and values, would do just fine also.

If you were working multiple shifts to make ends meet for you and your child(ren), where would you find the time to supplement their education?

not everyone is as blessed as i am, to be able to send my kids to a private, religious school (and that is why i am a HUGE FAN of vouchers), but dang it, public school accompanied by strong moral instruction provided by a parent, is preferable to stripping to pay the christian school bill.

Absolutely. But then, stripping is preferrable to starvation or going on welfare.
