[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, the reason parents spend $40k/year for a top private school is the education they receive K-12, not future college admissions. And the students who do the best are "intellectual" in ways that run-of-the-mill public schools just don't even try to meet. The basic public school curriculum just doesn't come close to the humanities and social science at my DC's school. [/quote] I don't disagree with this re the humanities , but privates don't match the publics in the sciences. Hence, the paltry admissions to MIT, and anemic almost nonexistent presence in Intel/Siemens. [/quote]
