[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]nobody needs the DC privates except rich people looking for a way to hide the fact that their children are idiots. in washington dc, we are blessed with many very high quality public schools. [/quote]

wow.  you are the idiot.  and sound a little jealous also.  [/quote]

Sorry, I agree with pp. I live in Baltimore, and the public schools are so bad that private actually makes sense if your kid is going to be anything other than a costmotologist. If you live in Montgomery or Arlington county, you just go to private’s cause you are rich. [/quote]

Or your kids can’t hack it in one of the competitive districts. [/quote]

+1. T[b]his is the real answer. Parents who know their kids will end up at the 50th percentile at one of the good public schools send their kids to privates because they're trying to hide behind a name. [/quote][/b]

I get so sick of this kind of comment. It's nasty and sounds like sour grapes. Jealous much? And you know what else? So Eff'ing what if that's what someone choses to do??? What if your kid isn't hacking it in a competitive district and you want to give them a chance at something else and you can afford it, why shouldn't you? If they can afford it, and its going to give their kids a leg up from being in a "50th percentile", good for them. Why wouldn't they do that? Is your argument that even if they have the means to give their average student a boost by putting them in an environment that will help the improve, they shouldn't?? [/quote]
