[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a real mindf&$ck: when all of this is over your child is going to inhabit the same colleges and jobs and communities as kids who just sidled up to the local public kindergarten. It’s nice that you will have a bespoke experience, but it’s more about you than about your child.[/quote] Agreed. And it happens before college: OPs kids will apply to high schools alongside kids who went to public from PK on (even to DCPS-gasp!) and they'll all end up in class together for 9th! And get this---most of the kids who graduate at the top of this class (be it Sidwell or NCS or GDS) will be the ones who are a product of all those years of public schooling. I'm a private school parent but have seen this play out many times. [/quote] Anecdata is not reliable. I can offer contradictory anecdata that is also not reliable. Anyone have real numbers?[/quote]
