[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I will say as a working-class public school kid is that (elite) private school kids very obviously engage differently in college seminars. In general, they seem much better prepared for a rigorous liberal arts structure in terms of critical reasoning and engaging with instructors. Might have something to do with small classes and being used a similar dynamic with their high school teachers- I found it such a clear differentiator (and quite intimidating) as a freshman at a middle Ivy.[/quote]
Maybe I lucked out but my public school had great teachers, especially in English and History, who spent tons of extra time and one-on-one time with us. [/quote]

How do you know they were great? Compared to what? This is what people mean when they say public school alumni are sort of clueless about how public and private school shape us so differently. And those differences are with you for life. OP thinks on paper she’s the same as her sorority sisters—even raised in the same towns. And you think your public teachers were “great” and you received private-tier instruction. Yet people in the know quickly detect you nor OP were private school lifers. While OP’s frumpy prep school sorority sisters had no shortage of ambitious young doctors and other boys from proper backgrounds eager to marry them.[/quote]

Wow, you really have a chip on your shoulder, don’t you? Honey, doctors didn’t want you because you weren’t pretty or personable enough. But doctors mostly went to publics and aren’t going to reject a pretty, educated, nice girl who went to Langley and UVA. [/quote]

That’s not the point you think it is. Most [everything] went to public school - including the prison population.[/quote]
