I'm not sure to whom you are writing and what point you are making.  As far as brand is concerned in the mid-1990s when I bought my car a FORD was a FORD and a TOYOTA was TOYOTA.  I got a lousy return on my investment with the FORD.  I got an excellent ROI with the TOYOTA.  Education is no different.

Why would I spend $30,000/ year for an private primary school education in the D.C. area.  This is a lousy ROI in my opinion.  The public magnet schools are a far superior eduactional brand.  Therefore, my children went to the public school magnets for primary education.  There received a far superior return on that investment.  "High-powered private primary school" does not equal superior education in the D.C. area.  For those struggling with their underwater mortgages we have no reason to be part of the educational bubble and sentence our children to worthess underwater educational loans.  Therefore, the choice of $45,000/year at Harvard may indeed be a better ROI thatn $35.000/year at Podunk University.[/quote]

You say these things because you aren't very well-educated yourself and because you don't see any intrinsic value in education.  [/quote]

I am not the pp above, but really,[b] how the heck would you know whether or not the poster is educated[/b]. You are just a bully and have no place in an open forum that is supposed to open up conversations, not discourage them [/quote][/quote]

Poor reading comprehension, analysis, and writing skills, as manifested in her posts.   I didn't say she wasn't educated -- just that she wasn't very well-educated and that she didn't appreciate education except as a means to money-making.  So, to me, that's not a person whose opinion on school choice is worth taking seriously.  She doesn't know or care what she (or her kids) missed. [/quote]
