[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might be a wildly debated/unpopular view, but I think you need to consider that these instagram accounts show the school the child chose to go to. That is not always the most prestigious one they were accepted to. I went to a highly sought after boarding school, and the school I ended up going to was my choice for a variety of factors that didn't directly relate to placement. I factored in where I got more grants, the city where I wanted to live, and what I planned to study while there.

I would also argue, and this is from the slant of an UM, my time in prep school prepared me more for the workforce than my college degree. I sailed through college compared to my peers, spent a year studying in South Africa and taking a light load (because I'd been able to test out with AP scores), etc. I now have an amazing job and work right alongside people who went to Harvard and Yale with considerably less college debt because of the choices I made. So for me, my decision to send my kids to independent schools was to mirror the early investment my parents made in me. And I would argue, it paid off. [/quote]

No one asked you to justify why you are sending your kids to private school.

This is a thread where people seem to be trying to correlate where students chose to go to college with the quality in the education. My intent was to merely point out that their chosen school doesn’t say what y’all seem to think it does. [/quote]
