[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... At Landon, sons of the big donors' sons definitely get treated differently -- they're placed on sports teams where more talented players get cut, for one thing, and they seem to get awards with amazing frequency.  However, I believe that other schools, including GDS and Sidwell, also do this in one form or another.  ...[/quote]

Is it really so? The kids in top private schools get treated differently just  because who their parents are or how much money they put forward?

Is this too much to expect from good private schools?

People will believe conspiracies about anything (the moon landings were faked!  the US government blew up the World Trade Centers! etc etc).  Don't believe everything you read on anonymous boards.  If you respect the professionals who teach at the private schools, have trust that they'll treat your kids as individuals and not little spread sheet entries reflecting their parents' wealth.  Most teachers don't know what the kids' parents do or how much $$$ they have (yes, there are a few exceptions -- I'm sure the teachers of kids whose last names are "Obama" probably know what their parents do for a living), and if they know they don't care -- it's about the kids themselves.   If you don't have that level of respect or trust I would advise changing schools or not sending your child to private school at all.
