[quote=Anonymous]I went to a "Big 3", graduated in the 90s, have strong family connections and have decided not to send my children there. Granted, we live in a very well-regarded MoCo district. That said - the benefits of the top private schools in this area are largely in the realm of social connections, etc. When I went there, it was a very different place focused on learning, societal generosity and personal growth. Now there's an air of elitism (see 15:16), teachers are no more qualified than in the best publics, etc. The two main benefits I see are somewhat smaller class sizes and a "big name" on a college application, which doesn't mean much in the long run. Very few of my high school friends (I can think of only one of a group of at least 10) are considering sending their kids to our alma mater.[/quote]
