What is even the point of private schools?

My kids private doesn’t suck.

The big benefit is the behavioral issues. They don’t tolerate a bunch of BS. In public they have to tolerate a pretty wide range before they can truly intervene.

One non-binary person’s dog whistle is another non-binary person’s accurate description.

Nice red herring. What does "non-binary" have to do with anything?

That is not what happens at Sidwell. Sorry, just isn't.

I’m a professor at a fairly competitive but non-ivy college and I served a year on the admissions committee. We applied standards similar to those of other smaller liberal arts colleges. And I can say that it is *much* easier to get in from a private high school. It is still hard, but the playing field is not even, for so many reasons.

with the insane woke brainwashing and the inbedding of politics into the circirulum and the loss of traditional learning

with schools and universities disregarding objective measures like SAT scores, AP test scores.

with top universities graduates having problems paying off their student loans and getting jobs


It all just feels pointless.

So much more than any of this. My kids have been influenced by their privates much more than the colleges they will attend. No compassion. Their foundations socially and intellectually are formed at private and so. much more into private than the above. it is a culture, a community, a way of acting and presenting oneself. Something you would not understand unless you were in it. I never understood it until my children entered the private world.

I didn't read 15 pages of responses so someone may have already said this but...

A private school is the last place kids would become woke, in my opinion. Especially if it's a religious school.
