[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  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?

I find this hard to accept on ethical grounds.

More importantly, I find it wrong and dangerous from the perspective of the child's healthy development (both for the more privileged and for the less privileged child).

For me, regardless of who I am and how much money I make, it is important that my kid will learn to earn his successes in life through his own effort.

Is this too much to expect from good private schools?[/quote]

Um, isn't this why people send their kids to "good private schools"?  So their kids get a better education than they would in public schools?  So they can use the money they've earned to give their kids advantages that will increase their odds of successes in life?  Or is the equality you believe in only equality among private school kids (or, more specifically, among kids at the same private school)?  [/quote]
