[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my experience with 2 kids so not a large sampling obviously.

Having one child at private and another in public, I can say that there is so much more hustling involved for my kid in public.  He doesn't have the ready help that my private school child receives.  He has to go out of his way to get help from his teachers.  Tests are not returned so anything they want to discuss is during lunch office hours.  For him, every kid is taking ridiculously high level classes and it's hard to stand-out, and there are so many students the teacher has to engage every year.

His teacher quality (and this is at a W-school) varies.  His science teacher this quarter seems to be out 2 days each week for the past month.  The kids are you-tubing and learning from outside books that they bought/borrow since classes don't have textbooks anymore.  I am not sure how a student learns high level science with a teacher out so often.

So while I understand how important LORs are, I am not sure how important it [b]should be considered[/b] depending on the high school.[/quote]

That's not the issue, though, is it? Should be?
Its what is in fact important. LOR are extremely important. [/quote]

Not disagreeing with you.  But seems like other things are as well, depending on who you talk to.  The thing is we never know for sure unless you are an AO, and that even varies by schools.[/quote]
