[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this. Why not send your kids to a great public? I went to one, ended up at H/P/Y, and it was apparent that my classmates who attended the country's most elite private schools (Andover, the DC and NYC schools, etc) were no better prepared and in some cases behind. Meanwhile, my parents paid nothing and in fact could count the local high school's great performance as part of their property value.[/quote] That's like saying "why not put all your money in stocks; I did in the 80s and 90s and I made a ton of money". People making this decision today have to assess how the "great publics" will do over the next 12 or so years, not how they did in the past. I can certainly say that with respect to MCPS there are legitimate questions to ask.[/quote]
