[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who is a sophomore at a Big 3 and by that let's say I mean St Albans/NCS, GDS, Sidwell or Maret.  I have heard through my school grapevine that this year the kids at the elite privates are having terrible results-
 especially the unhooked kids. [b] I have heard that they are negatively affected by test-optional, the elimination of AP's and grade deflation.[/b]

Ok please tell me your experiences- Big 3 parents only please...I am not interested in hearing how well your W school kid did, or how stupid you think I am for paying private school tuition.[/quote]

I would simply say to consider the self-interest of the people making these assessments. It can’t possibly be that this was an insanely competitive admissions year and their kids just didn’t make the cut; it has to be that less-worthy kids, whose parents didn’t pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for private school, somehow had an advantage. Come on.[/quote]

Every rejection letter you, your kids, and your entitled arrogant community get bring tears of joy to me.  You deserve all of it!  Hope you enjoyed the bonfire you had burning up your 200k in tuition.[/quote]

You definitely sound like someone who is happy, content, and confident regarding the educational choices you’ve made for your family. What a great advertisement for public school![/quote]
