[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Felt so sad reading this thread.  My DC will likely have a GPA of 4.1-4.2 from TJ.  It seems like NOVA community college is a real possibility now.[/quote]

Not really. T30 is not going to happen with this GPA. But t40 is possible and a t50/60 is very likely if not guaranteed. [/quote]

+1  Of course a TJ student with above a 4.0 will almost assuredly get into a very good school.  I guess to some TJ parents, [b]anything below a T(fill in the number) school is a complete failure so might as well go to NOVA[/b].  Talk about being melodramatic. [/quote]

Isn't that how it is for all the "Big 3" or whatever private school families as well who essentially are paying for a medicore education and the school guidance counselor-college connection to get their lacrosse playing kid into an Ivy or a SLAC?  Why is that OK but not this?  Is that bias against the predominant Asian population at TJ or jealousy that your kid couldn't hack it there?  :roll: [/quote]

I stand corrected.  You are right, ANY parent with that mentality - regardless of what school their DC attends - should drop the drama after a little venting.  I don't agree, however, that private schools in general deliver a mediocre education.  Depends on the school (but you know that). [/quote]

In my opinion, majority of teachers in public schools are bad or mediocre, so I don’t think public schools are able to deliver a good education, just a mediocre one. My kids didn’t go to private schools but I would guess the teachers are better there.

All schools deliver good education.  My point is that parents choose private schools primarily for the counselor connections and not necessarily for the education.  [/quote][/quote]
