[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were never at private for admission to college.

It was about laying the groundwork for success in college and life.

Public education is a shambles. It’s terrible what has happened. [/quote]

What's the point to get a "good" high school education if you end up at a not-so-good college?[/quote]
This is the falsest of false choices.Where I am, it is far, far, far easier to find a not-so-elite college where you can still get a good strong education than to get a good strong education at your zoned public school.

There are literally thousands of colleges in the US. Chances are that your private school graduate will be able to find [i]one[/i] where they can get a great education.

So you’re not trading between a good high school education and a good college. At worst, you’re trading between a good high school education and an extremely short list of “elite” colleges.

If it comes to it, I’m comfortable with that trade-off.
