[quote=Anonymous]If you are old money then you prob live in an area that has a highly rated public school.  I think the best publics are better than some of the privates in other areas.  I find these boards to be the haves talking about the have mores.  The reason my kids are at a Big 3 is because I grew up in an area where the public is rated a 1.  I didn't even realize public schools could be so affluent.  If I had known I would have been fine sending them to public but since we got into private and I can now afford it then it's a mute point.  I hope I'm getting something more for my money than just a class of entitled kids.  Our kids love school and they are doing well.  That's all I can ask for.  But if we had to stress over the tuition then I think public in Moco is fine.

16:22 here. This just proves that you don't know many old money types, besides maybe the handful in your private school. I mentioned that my family is old money--names on plaques for things they donated (not going to put myself by saying what)--and my kids went to public high school after private elementary. Pre-Mayflower WASP.

Here's my definition of "nouveau riche": among other things, likes to pontificate online about how rich people think public school is "horrid." [/quote][/quote]
