[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is off the grid?

Btw another poster eschewing privates all the while detailing and name dropping as best possible her own list of privates.[/quote]

the reason to name drop is that other posters who have decided to go public have been accused of "painting all privates with a broad brush" and not being familiar with any of them - not even bothering to investigate.  I think the people who went to privates here and are not sending their kids help provide context when we know what schools they were/are familiar with.

Off the grid in my book is sending your kid to an EOTP school, where lots of kinds of learning is going on, not all academic, while the pressure cooker the poster above was referring to (choosing the challenging and presumably private school that she never had for her daughter), and admitting that she had made a mistake.

Pressure cookers tend to be the privates or even Wilson potentially, where you have the Janney kids duking it out for the Ivy League schools, and much less real diversity in the social circle no matter how "diverse" Wilson is on paper.

Just my opinion.[/quote]
