[quote=Anonymous] I agree that this is true for a lot of parents, although few will admit to it. I was just talking last week to a parent who felt cheated because part of her decision to send her child to an expensive private was that the school subtly sold the high rate of admission to Ivies. She then realized several years in that precious few students were actually going to top colleges. Whether families like to think about it or not, there is the expectation that a better K-12 education will lead to increased chances of admission to a top college. The problem with this thinking is that some public schools are actually far stronger academically.[/quote]
