[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't matter if you can't get into an Ivy, private lifers go to tier 2 and 3 colleges, get all As, and always graduate within 4 years. College ends up being easier than high school in many respects. While the public lifers--outside of the de facto private magnet public alums--end up at whatever campus and realize by week 1 or 2 they are literally years behind peers from writing ability to social skills and everything in-between. Wanna be pre-med and engineering quickly turns into marketing, communications, sociology, and political science -- and half of them take 5 or 6 years to graduate, if they don't quit before then.[/quote]

This is silly and completely out of touch.  Possibly a rationalization for their decisions.  If your student is naturally good, well-rounded, and curious, they will strive in either environment. Save to  it money and allow then to flourish in a REAL WORLD training ground!  Do baseball players train for life at a bowling alley with only players of a certain demographic?  You are fraud your little Johnny will fail and you continue to shelter and protect.[/quote]

Having done school and the “real world” I find it hilarious that you think public school is in any way indicative of the real world. Or any school for that matter. [/quote]
