[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still those schools will have the best college placement.  Our choice.[/quote]

Yes, because they have donors kids, legacies, kids in $$$$$ recruitable sports (I.e. fencing and squash), and can altogether cherry pick their students. In DC they also pluck the most talented URM kids by high school.

You didn’t think too hard on that one. [/quote]

well, then you should be happy your kid is at a public school taking 12-15 AP classes. One less kid to compete with. Or maybe you're on this crusade because you realize that 12-15 AP classes got your kid the same result as another kid who took 0.[/quote]

What results? 
I’ve talked at career day at our private school. Saw some terrible attitudes and entitlement and little motivation to work beyond volunteering or art.

Our neighborhood school Whitman has kids going all over the country to a variety of great schools for a diverse set of stem, lib arts, premed/law, social majors programs. Never heard of any of our neighbors or sitters having issues once at college, it’s been easier than school. Their recruiting for internships and jobs and the jobs they take after college graduation have been impressive as well. [/quote]
