[quote=Anonymous]There are belief shifts happening about the value of education, as education has become astronomically expensive. People are starting to take seriously the idea that very good publics basically have the same outcomes. If your kid can get into a top 10 school, MAYBE worth the networks, but after that, research suggests that it's just not. And so a lot of smart people are stepping back and redefining what "best" means. Used to be "best" reputation/prestige. Now it's "best" outcomes. And when you spin it like that, a lot of smart folks are going to choose publics. A lot of people have come to understand that it's fundamentally a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for private over public, or private with merit aid (unless your kid has very specific needs or interests). I would absolutely advise my kid to go to a strong public rather than saddle themselves with years and years of debt to go to a private. [/quote]
