[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the private schools have placement tests and can take the cream of the crop -- whereas public schools have to take everyone[/quote] but the cream of the crop at publics is just as good as the cream of the crop at privates - except at Thomas Jefferson of course, where it's better thn the privates. :lol:[/quote] ITA too. The difference between the cream of the publics and the top privates is family money, not brains. In fact, it's not even about the money, often it's a choice to go public. We turned down a top 2 for a MoCo magnet. We know 6-7 other families who made the same choice, turning down Sidwell or the cathedral schools. Kids who "made the cut" for the top privates, but who are in public.[/quote]
