[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It means a lot to me. I am not paying $50k/year for a school that has no prestige just to say my kid went to private school. I am also mindful that the name-brand alone isn't what potentially makes a difference in outcomes. If I didn't have kids who I thought would/could take advantage of the opportunities that these schools afford, I would do public or Catholic and save some money.[/quote] What kids are the ones that don't benefit from a prestigious private school education? [/quote] One example - if the school is a pressure cooker - not all kids thrive in that environment (even very smart ones).[/quote] What does pressure cooker have to with top private schools? Top public schools are pressure cookers [/quote] Top publics are large, tough, competitive pressure cookers. If your kid won't thrive in that environment and you can afford it, try private.[/quote]
