[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really? Is that what this thread is about? It sure doesn't seem to be developing that way. [/quote]
Go back and read the OP.  That's exactly what it is about.[/quote]
Yeah, I saw OP.  Repeated below for your convenience.
[quote]Im a Libertarian when it comes to Public v Private. But wow. It seems that Whitman is extremely overrated. Looks like Montgomery Blair is underrated and Churchill is the top of the heap.  It is clear that public vs private is not the same if you want to go to top 15 US News and World Report top ranked school or top 10 SLAC.  The admissions to college from elite private schools is materially better.  For a B+ or below student - it may be the same - but I for one was shocked how little success people had getting into top schools from Whitman.[/quote]
I'll let OP speak to her/his own intentions.  Seems mainly to express surprise Whitman doesn't do better.  There's a similar discussion on the MD public school thread, asking why Blair did not do better.  But as far as slams go, it's pretty mild.  OTOH, it doesn't belong on the private school thread at all, so maybe OP was trying to start a food fight.  I was referring mainly to the other 8 pages of the thread, which include many attacks on private schools and private school parents.  Perhaps that all was just retaliation for some perceived slight against against public schools by OP.

I just commented because the description by 22:14 that "this thread is about private school parents slamming the public schools" seems inaccurate.  You're entitled to a different opinion of course.[/quote]
