[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because I went from public school to Columbia, and all around me in the D.C. area I have met grads of Sidwell, St. Albans, GDS etc who went to schools like Haverford and Clemson. I mean, besides bragging rights, what's the point?[/quote] That's a facile argument, sorry. You don't know that without the extra support and individual teaching these people received at Sidwell that they may not have got into college at all, or ended up at a place like St Mary's College MD (or similar).[/quote] Yes it is a bit facile. But my point is my kids are high functioning, with natural intelligence and drive, coming from a good home with attentive parents. They don't need extra support. But thank you for illustrating my point that private school kids can't cut it in public school.[/quote]
