[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Many thanks for the feedback.  So does anyone with kids in public school disagree with the following two statements:

1. A substantial number of public school students in the DC/MD/VA area have parents who attended top colleges and grad schools, including not only Ivy League universities but also several other similarly prestigious institutions.

2. A substantial number of public school students in the DC/MD/VA area come from families earning $250,000 or more.[/quote]

Wait, I don't get it. I thought you were asking:  of parents who went to Ivies/earn a lot of money, how many send their children to public schools? But actually you're asking: of public school students in DC/MD/VA, how many have parents who went to Ivies/earn a lot of money?

If the latter, I would say -- not a whole lot. The number of people who didn't go to Ivies is enormously bigger than the number of people who did, and $350,000+ is a lot of money, even in the more affluent parts of the DC metropolitan area.[/quote]

+1. OP either is in high school, or went to a non-Ivy, or drank too much during his/ her Ivy years to assimilate logic and critical thinking.[/quote]
