68,
I think you pretty much proved her point for her. I'm petty sure my give-a-shit-o-meter went from no reading to "ho-hum another strident conservative" to "she must be absolutely right". If you're just venting, great! If you're actually trying to persuade, then I think we know someone who needs to work on their people skills.
It's all fine and well to say that one should stick around and try to change the country if one doesn't really have the resources to up stakes and jet, but if I did, I'd certainly think long and hard about educating my children abroad. I suspect that, in the end, I'd end up sticking around, but I'd give it some hard thought, and I'm in one of the better school districts in the country.
