[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And nice to see some parents have already decided that their kids are going to work for some multi-national Fortune 500 companies with emerging interests in China....

I think most of you are frustrated that you are middle class SAHM's, with nothing else to do other then worry about this stuff and are jealous of those who can send their kids to school with "Prep, Arms, and Country Day Schools" in their names....  And forgot to name your kids Chase and Avery.[/quote]

Oops, reformatting to make sure you see this.

Pretty sure this is the anti-woman tea-bagger who's been plaguing the private school forum recently. Which would be totally consistent with the lack of interest in foreign languages and other countries....

My kids have done both immersion and magnets, and like I mentioned on a thread in the private school forum, the oldest is now at an ivy (younger is still in HS). Both were in private school for a few years. Here 's what I didn't mention on that other thread: we decided private school wasn't worth it -- in fact the immersion and magnet programs were superior, so we returned the kids to public. Jealous of your private school? No way!

But you just go on telling yourself that your 2nd tier private school is "better" for your kids. And keep telling yourself that your kids won't need languages or STEM skills in 20 years.[/quote]
