[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the previous poster. The area I live in has ok public schools. When I hear of kids having 4.0s from there I think "not challenged." And I think that based on my on personal experience with HS in an inner city. I graduated 1st in my class - yes 1st and was NOT adequately prepared for my top 10 university. I struggled my first two years just getting up to speed. Thank God I didn't have low self-esteem because I kept at it. Because of this I am an advocate for private school if you don't live in an area with top public schools. So many public schools kids are not well prepared for college. I think getting into a good college is just half the battle. The real battle is are you prepared to excel once you are fully enrolled? For me, while I definitley would like for my kids to go to a top college what I really want is for them to do well at whatever college they choose -- and I think the private schools do a far better job of that especially when it comes to writing and critical thinking skills.[/quote]
