[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

I am telling you it is most likely there are more Harvard graduates who send kids to public school than private school in this area because most kids go to public school.

That is all I said. Relax.[/quote]
Fair enough.  I'm just growing frustrated because I've been challenged a few times on this thread to justify my question.

As an aside, I take your point that if 9-of-10 parents are sending their children to public schools, then it's reasonable to assume at least 6-of-10 Harvard parents (a majority) are doing the same.  However, the claim I faced on another thread was that Harvard parents would almost exclusively choose private schools, so would be far underrepresented in the public schools.[/quote]

Bzuh? If someone makes a statement, you're really wasting your time on a thread like this because

1) the data here are pretty unscientific
2) the person who wrote that is obviously either exaggerating for effect* or is dumb.

*Yes, I would expect Ivy parents to be somewhat overrepresented in private schools for multiple reasons. But I can't imagine who would claim that they "almost exclusively" choose private schools, in which case see "dumb".[/quote]
