[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any elegant comeback ideas for when a parent highlights their public school child got into the same college(s) as our private school daughter? The passive-aggressive point they are trying to make is that we wasted our money on private school tuition and we should have just stayed in the public system and would have ended up at the same place. :roll: So far, I've been using variations of "Good for you/them!"[/quote]

Well, what is your truth?  If you don't believe that your kid benefitted from private school in ways that are not reflected in acceptances, that's a fair point.  If you do, just tell them.  Looking for "an elegant comeback" is a cop out.[/quote]

It’s astonishing how many people think every kid admitted to say UVA or Georgetown for example have the exact same stats and capabilities. You think there is no gap between the top and bottom quartiles? The gaps are extreme, and that’s before factoring in soft skills and emotional IQ, and also, the private school network pubkic kids will never gain entry to.[/quote]

And why not? Are you trying to build a taller wall? [/quote]
