<p>As a regular poster, I am willing to learn from others. I have learned more about what life experiences, life objectives, personal philosophies, and geographical realities tend to produce which viewpoints about topics like this. For example, I know now that my view on this subject would likely be different if I lived in CA or Texas, or if the child in question were pre-med. However, given that my personal philosophy, my geographic location, and the objectives for my children have remained constant since 2006 when I started posting, I haven’t changed my mind on this one. Furthermore, I can now speak from greater experience in that two of my children have attended elite schools. All that said, I never cited hooliganism as a reason before, but could have. Recent events simply played into that this time.</p>
<p>In sum, my ideas may not be more valuable than they were years ago, but they aren’t necessary less valuable either.</p>
