[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, statistically most people choose public school. 90% of all kids are in public school last I read somewhere. But in the private school population, high HHI kids are over represented for obvious reasons. If you think going to a selective school has any correlations with HHI (either because smart means high income, or rich folks got into Yale), then top college graduates are also over represented at the top private schools. However, over reppresented does not mean there are more Harvard graduates parents in private schools than public schools, because more people are in public schools. [/quote]
OP again.  I believe you're waaaaaay overthinking this, and you're making lots of incorrect assumptions about me and my thought process.  I'll try again: Someone on another thread claimed there are hardly any high-HHI students at public schools, and also that there are hardly any children of grads from top colleges.  I thought that was a bullshit claim, but I wanted to get opinions from others on DCUM to see whether or not my gut instinct was correct.  It appears my gut instinct was correct, because several high-HHI and top-college grads have chimed in here.  That's it -- I've got no hidden motive or other inference I'm drawing based on this thread about public schools, private schools, or my children's academic future.

I gather you don't like some implication or correlation that might be drawn from this fact, but to be honest, I can't quite figure out from your post what it is.  If you want a debate, you'll need to get it from someone else.[/quote]
