How about free and 5K of tutors. You all are idiots.[/quote]

Why would I send my kid to an inadequate school all day so they can come home and learn again with tutors? WTF sense does that make?[/quote]

Right?!? Hardly a ringing endorsement - send your kid to public school so they can spend hours with tutors after being at school all day! Yay for you?[/quote]

Funny, all of my friends with kids in Big 3 privates have tutors for their HS students.  In fact, someone recommended a math teacher at Sidwell as a tutor for my public DC and when I reached out, he said his plate was full tutoring Sidwell students.   :shock:

Anyway, I’m sure many private parents send their kids to private for reasons other than college admissions, but your assumption that your coddled private school students in their sheltered environments will be “so much better prepared” for college is just nonsense.  College (and life) are so much more than whether your child has learned to write research essays in high school.  We all justify our decisions, but the notion that public school kids taking rigorous courses universally have crappy, uncaring teachers and go to college unprepared is a load of crap.

Big law partners usually know the difference between “there” and “their”. You probably did attend public HS though.

NP. Well, you certainly aren't doing much to dispel stereotypes about how awful biglaw partners are. [/quote][/quote]
