[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a thought: CVs for everything from jobs to residencies are screened by computers today and even better AI tools tomorrow. Maybe it gets more nuanced, but it’s likely to rely on the brand more and more making fewer and fewer more and more privileged. We are at Big 3 and went to a Big 3 type college. It’s a self-reinforcing value proposition. We went into this big public school proponents, and ended up choosing the best of the best. One other thing, once you are on track it’s easier to stay tracking. What I worry about is making sure my child’s happy! They seem to enjoy Big 3 way better than anything else they tried including DCPS; in fact love it. Ivies are not our goal; we feel we bought them space to be creative but they seem to self-motivate. My inner fight deep down is not Big 3 or cut price or public school? That’s kind of obvious. It’s formal education as we know it or something more progressive for our (collective our) talented children [/quote] Emphatically agree with last line. schools for our (yes, collective our) need to be orders of magnitude different than they are now. I hope that having opted your kids out of public school you can find ways to advocate for better, more interesting, more effective alternatives for ALL kids... [/quote]
