[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please do not even consider this.

Just because your kid sits next to the kid of a Master of the Universe in Chem 101 doesn’t mean your kid is in that circle.

In some cases these networks have been built over generations through marriage and business.

Their networking does not take place in a secondary school - it happens in private clubs and exotic locales where they all congregate.

Also you only get out of a network what you put in. A guy worth $100 billion is not looking to a single digit millionaire to add to his network. Same goes for his kid.

A network is not built on proximity. And other than an education, proximity is all a private school has to offer.[/quote]

What you said there just doesn't match reality.  The majority of my kid's friends all attend the same private school.  The annual alumni events are pretty impressive too, bringing them back to campus.  The majority of these families have a net worth under $100 million so talking about billions makes you seem extremely unfamiliar with the area.[/quote]
