[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if none of kids went to public, how do you know that it was your private school that made them more “academically ready”? What is your comparison? Did your kids come home from college and say, “man, those public school kids really struggled academically!” [/quote] Yeah, they kind of did, especially one of my kids during a required freshman year writing class. Lots of peer review of first, second drafts and my kid said the kids who were shocked by how “good” his, in his mind very mediocre early drafts were, were all public school grads. It came up in group discussions. More broadly all my kids commented how better prepared for writing papers and studying effectively their private school educated friends were v their college peers who they knew went to public. Said it was obvious.[/quote]
