[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a class thing OP. If you come from the upper middle class or above, it would be horrid to send your kid to a public school. If you are an upward bound striver, then you will aim for a "good" public school in the white suburbs.[/quote]\

This couldn't be more wrong.[/quote]

Haha, +1. Top poster doesn't understand the US class system at all. [/quote]

I don't know... They make a pretty solid argument.[/quote]

+1 agree. What I see looking around at my kids private school is a need to belong and feel good about it.

OK, I'll give you the nouveau riche, who have that welcome-to-the-club outlook. They were all over our private elementary. But like PP I too come from an old money family, and the idea that we live and die in private schools is wrong. My kids did private elementary but finished and went to Ivies from public. There's no super-high percent of wealthy who think public school is "horrid". You're confusing the prevalence of wealthy parents in private schools (which makes sense because they can afford it) with a supposed prevalent snotty outlook among the much larger population of rich families.[/quote]
