[quote=Anonymous]Something that colors my own views is my own personal experience in public and private schools.  I spent most of my school career at a very highly regarded public school, consistently ranked as one of the top handful in the state where I grew up.  I took all the honors classes and did extremely well without actually trying very hard.  For high school, my parents switched me to a top private school in the area.  At the private school, I found many more academically advanced students, the workload was much more challenging, and I had to learn much better study habits to get similar grades.

The world certainly has changed a lot in 25 years, and I don't know whether the public/private dynamic I experienced has changed.  However, I know it affects how I view things.

Absolutely nothing wrong with public schools.  And certainly every school is different.  Maybe my experience would have been entirely different if I'd come from MoCo HGC public school, and attended a less challenging private school.  But my experience certainly shaped my views.[/quote]
