[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a public school in the 90s, it was one of the top public high schools in California. When I went to university, I noticed very little difference between those who went to public vs private schools. The SAT scores in DC private schools are basically comparable to the top publics. I don't get it, i mean if you got millions to burn, so be it. I rather give my kids a house. [/quote]

OP, I re-wrote your statement to fill in the pieces you missed:

I went to a public school in the 90s, because my parents couldn't afford it.  I continually tell myself (and therapist) it was one of the top public high schools in California because it makes me less jealous of my private school friends. When I went to university, I noticed very little difference between those who went to public vs private schools.  And I asked all of them to confirm my theory, again it really helped me with the fact they my parents couldn't afford it.   The SAT scores in DC private schools are basically comparable to the top publics. I don't get it, i mean if you got millions to burn, so be it. I rather give my kids a house, because I can't afford to send them to private school today.  And I feel really guilty about it when I see all my friends send their kids there.    And by posting on DCUM and saying this out loud I can justify to myself why going to public is so much better for them.  [/quote]

And bam, that's it!  OP's post reeks of insecurity.[/quote]
