[quote=Anonymous]my kid came from a good public to a top DC private in high school and there is just zero comparison between the two with regards to instruction in the humanities (ELA, history, foreign language). My kid read 8 books this fall and produced 12+ essays. The kids write all.the.time. Lots of in depth literary analysis, etc. I think it's awesome and my kid actually enjoys it but is this skill necessary for life? Most adults will never need to be good writers and especially this type of writing. So yes, these private school kids are about 20 times better prepared for being English majors than most of their public school counterparts. But for most people this won't matter. [/quote]
