[quote=Anonymous]I am struggling to understand your clear disdain for private schools and the private school community (referring to "rich kids" as a pejorative, calling me "elitist parent") while at the same time demanding answers for why these schools did not admit people that you felt should be admitted. Yeah, these are private schools, of course they are going to have wealthy families. And by design are exclusive, and therefore "elite." And they have non-objective admissions so that my friends' kid who had an off day on shadow day was not admitted. But nobody has to attend them if they don't want to because there are public schools which are designed for everyone. Some wealthy families like that and send their kids to public even if they can afford private. Private schools really aren't for everyone. They might be gender exclusive, for example, or they may be for the ultra-religious only. And if they want to balance their class on using any number of shifting factors, including race, gender, or religion, that is still their right. [/quote]
