[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It will never  NOT be amusing to me watching people who sent their precious cargo to schools like connelly schoolboy the holy child,  tuition: $32,000+ ,or Georgetown day, tuition: $38,000+ , only to have said kids ending up at colleges where 80%+ of the student body is amdd of kids who hail from public schools .

As if that wasn't enough, a good number of them —especially the women—end up with 'Mrs jobs': digital content creator,  social media director etc . Jobs that scream " I'm waiting for some trust fund kid or some financially promising bro to come save me so I can be his glorified cheerleader " . Fellow private school flame outs need not apply.

Ultimately,  people have the right to spend their money as they see fit . But men!! Few things have as lousy a return on investment as private schools. [/quote]

Well, we are considering private for our kid.  The reason is not goal-related, though I know plenty of people who are.  Our kid is a bit of an orchid.  He's doing okay in public, but he does much better with more one-on-one attention, smaller groups, more hand holding.  It's not to get a more amped job, it's to make sure he's growing and enjoying learning.  When you are talking about high SES kids, you might think of private education as a fancy car--the kids get to the same place, but some kids will have more fun on the bus, some kids will enjoy a nice car.
