[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a former parent, I've never understood the "public you pay for" comment.  The difference in the treatment of recruited athletes and the children of connected/wealthy families vs the rest of the student body at Bullis is disgusting.  I don't think this happens in public schools, but yes, I'd imagine that the class sizes are larger there.  Everybody picks their balance of pros and cons in selecting a school.  [/quote]

Maybe it does.  I've been around the private school circuit, but I've not see (or heard) it to Bullis levels anywhere else.[/quote]

Maybe not with sports, but it absolutely does with money and even religion if its a religious school.  Even in publics families are treated very differently.  We were in private and never should have left.  There are not a lot of affordable $25K or so schools that are not religious sadly.  I'd look at Bullis if it were more affordable.  When we went to public it was clear some families are the favorite and disagree with the principal they go after your kid for really petty things.  Mine got in trouble with a group of kids and he was the only one punished (which backfired as kid asked the principal to have the same punishment daily as he hate lunch and recess so missing it was a treat).[/quote]
