Exactly. You don't see it. And unless you lived here when it was a problem, you won't see it.

Rut - you refer to urban situations in your area that I could never fathom, and would never have a chance of truly understanding. When you do, I take you at face value. I could NOT truly understand where you're coming from - I don't have the context for it.

You do not fathom the situation that has existed here - you don't have the context for it.

Who said anything about "urban" whatever that is supposed to mean. I live in a suburban area and once lived in a rural part of my state. Parents would move a kid from one rural area to another if they felt they were helping their kids get a better opportunity. And it is often controversial here when a kid goes from a public school district to a private school and it is often assumed that the private school did something nefarious to get that athlete.

I know people from Texas think the world does not exist outside of that state, but things you are saying is a constant conversation here. Schools are just not spending millions to make a football stadium. But still the same basic issues come up here, I just have never understood why people feel it is wrong to move a kid if it benefits their chances at other opportunities.

You're right. You don't. And you won't. And that's ok.
