[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did too (live in Potomac so great public, but never considered private). [b]The education just isn't significantly better, period. The parents are a nightmare. My friends who went to public (granted they are self selected from my Ivy and work contacts) are just as smart and successful as my Big 3 friends.[/b]
Those schools are status symbols for the parents. Bottom line. It wasn't that way back in the 80's when I went, but it absolutely is now.[/quote]

I wonder if you realize what a gigantic douchebag this post makes you sound like?  [/quote]

Funny, I thought the douchebag part of that post was this:

[i](live in Potomac so great public, but never considered private)[/i]

:roll: [/quote]

We weren't ever considering private - long before moving to Potomac we'd decided on public. But, whatever.[/quote]

You are still missing the point (despite your Ivy background etc.).  There are great publics all over MoCo, not just in Potomac.  But in your mind, Potomac (as opposed to other area) schools are [i]per se[/i] great.  [/quote]
