If you are wealthy would you send your kids to a W school over private?

I went to GDS and have lots of friends from Whitman and Wilson. It doesn’t matter that much, you can all relax.

Does not want spoiled kids. Good for him. He is worth like 100 million and is giving it all away to people who need it.

Nah. I don't believe this at all, unless he doesn't want a relationship with his kids. This will breed resentment.

I send my kids private. Political candidates who send their kid public will likely get a vote from me though. The quality of public education has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY since I went to public school. I now have to pay for what my parents got for free and it makes me a bit salty. I don't believe that politicians who put their kids in private have enough skin in the game.

Bush Jr and Sr, Clinton, Obama all sent their kids to public schools at some point. Trump and Biden don't have my respect in this regard.

So they should send their kids somewhere you admit is not very good?

They should have skin in the game when making public policy

Under that logic, they can’t make policy about anything they or their family isn’t personally experiencing. That’s asinine.

DP. No. Making policy on education and deliberately opting out of the system IS worthy of raised eyebrows. It’s not the same as making policy on something that doesn’t affect them at all.

It wouldn’t kill a candidacy for me but I think PP is right that it’s worth of notice.

Plenty of spoiled kids go to public school.

Sending your kid to a top private school will not necessarily spoil them.

I don't mind "spoiling" my kid with private school. There's a lot worse things to spoil you kid with.

Wealthy private school parent here. Yep, I admit I spoiled my children with a top notch education. I’m not spoiling them with designer clothes, the newest tech devices or fancy cars. I like to think that I have my priorities straight!

And this is exactly why I send my kid to private school...so they are surrounded by families like yours who prioritize education over material things like cars, clothes, homes, and vacations.

Private school families - prioritizing education

Public school families - Prioritizing ????

Prioritizing education has nothing to do with private or public. People opt of different options due to various reasons.

eh. most private school parents send their kids to private schools because they can, not because the "prioritize" education. Do these rich people think all these public school Asian American parents don't prioritize their kids' education? If they thought private school was the best, they'd scrimp and save to send their kids to private school.

POTUS makes very little policy on education.

Plenty of Asian Americans do just that.

Asian Americans that can afford private school tend to go that way. The y will rarely own luxury cars or a vacation home and send their kids to public.
