And who are you to dictate how they bring their kids up? You don't like it, fine, you're entitled to your opinion. As a matter of fact I'm a bit ambivalent about it myself. But I absolutely defend their right to make their own parenting choices, and I applaud their willingness to back up their convictions with actions and hard cash, paying for their daughters to get the educational environment they want for them.
