[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think JR kids might have an easier time getting into top 10 colleges. But I think private school kids are better prepared -- at least initially -- when they get there due to years of intensive writing preparation. You have to write those 10-15 page research papers in college, and JR does not offer any practice with that.[/quote] I see the complaint about writing instruction in public’s as a reason to go private. And all I can think is, surely it would be a lot cheaper and probably even more effective to get your child a writing tutor who gives extra writing assignments or raises the bar on existing assignments as a method for overcoming that gap. Way easier than trying to replicate chem lab experiences at home. What am I missing? [/quote]
