[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted about my experience- I didn’t claim my kids went to a big 3. I think APS defenders are so confused because they seem to think the workload and rigors is higher (than APS) only from the “big 3.” Even though they won’t acknowledge that. Uh no, it’s harder at a number of private schools. I know this because I talk to the parents of my kids’ former classmates/friends.[/quote]

+1 Same with me. My kid isn't Big 3 but we did leave for a challenging private school. And we aren't APE or RWNJs....[/quote]
No one is saying that private schools aren’t in general more challenging and provide a better education.  They are generally smaller and allow for a certain degree of accountability that it is definitely lacking once you get out of elementary school.  
The thought that a kid taking 4-5 ap classes at a public school isn’t getting a challenging experience and won’t be adequately prepared for college is elitist and wrong though.  Implying that a kid who is taking all intensified and ap classes and consequently has 3+ hours of homework is dumb and working too hard is elitist and wrong.

There is one jerk who has commented throughout this thread about his children going from aps to a “big 3” and how kids taking ap world as freshmen at wl don’t have homework.  That guy is a troll, especially since they implied that there were multiple of them.  I don’t think everyone who went to private is a troll, just that guy![/quote]

Exactly!
