[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is hysterical. So much posturing from both sides. To the OP and the other bitter PPs, tough luck that your K-12 tuition dollars don't guarantee your kids a guaranteed glidepath to a T20 school. It's grotesque to see the casual racism and classism that is unleashed by the possible loss of an iota of privilege.

And to those sanctimommies who are insisting you don't give a fig about college outcomes after shelling out $50k a year for 13 years, puhleez. If it was all about "community and service," there's plenty of opportunity for both in public schools. You paid a premium for the cachet and handholding of private kindergarten; you're really going to cheer when your kids go to a third-tier public university?[/quote]

It’s so freaking weird how some public school parents refuse to believe that many private school parents are sending their kids to a private school for… the education they will receive. If you say “actually, I care more about the K-12 experience and education than I do about college admissions” they tell you you are lying about what you care about. Bizarre. It’s like there’s just no room in their brain for a world in which anyone isn’t primarily motivated by college acceptance.  [/quote]

Right? So do they think there is ONE private school parent who keeps posting that again and again? I could have all the parents from my kids' private come on here and say the same thing I am to show that we really do care about the day-to-day experiences our kids are having in school, but then I'm sure they'd still say we're lying. Private school parents couldn't care less what public school parents do. So why is the reverse never true?[/quote]
