[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll be brutally honest.  I live in an amazing school district.  Yet, I pay money to send my son to, what most would consider, an elite private school.  I graduated from the same school many years ago and had an amazing experience.  Not only was it the most challenging academic environment I have ever been a part of, including college and law school, it opened up doors for me that would have never been available otherwise.  I did not come from money, and my parents struggled to make ends meet to send me there.  Even though the local public high school is amazing, it is still not the equivalent by any measure.  The whole point of my parents sending me there and me sending my son there is to gain an unfair advantage in life—academically and socially.  Otherwise, there is no point in spending $40,000.00+ annually of after tax dollars.  I don’t lose a minute of sleep over my decision nor do I feel an ounce of guilt.  I am, however, extremely thankful and grateful that I could have that experience and that I could offer the same experience to my son.  I just said what is on the minds of many parents who are reluctant to state the truth.[/quote]

I’m trying to find the big reveal in there. I’m pretty sure we all know that’s the truth.[/quote]

Exactly lol

And no one has a problem with this true. The problem is the chasm between elite private schools and even the best public schools are now too big to ignore. Hence, why one has to wonder what chance does unremarkable average kids in mediocre public school have? [/quote]
