[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I am a parent of a kid in a Big 3 ish school in another city. Your kid is getting a great education and great preparation for college. From where your (and my) kid is coming, they will be fine no matter where they go. They have tremendous privilege and advantages. It will be ok. Really.

I have 2 kids: one at a LAC and one going to a school ranked 75-100. Neither is Ivy and I’m totally fine with that."

I don't think you really believe this. There are plenty of good public schools and less renowned private schools where your kid could get a great K-12 education. Nobody puts their kids in private if they believe public schools are just as good for K-12. Why would all those other things you value disappear once they go to college? (Prestigious name, exclusivity, less chance of riff-raff, almost everyone you socialize with is from a prominent/wealthy/connected family, smaller setting, individual attention, etc...) [/quote]

We’re full pay, but I’d pay extra to have my kids not attend schools with people like PP.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way, of course.  We’re wealthy public school parents who are now full pay at a selective SLAC, and DC complains that a high percentage of his classmates have no idea how the real world works and have never been out of their gross bubble of private schools, private planes, and privilege.  One benefit is that it’s really validating our decision to choose public for K-12. [/quote]

:roll:  :roll:  :roll:

I could not roll my eyes more at this arrant self-absorbed nonsense and my DC attended a public school I am positive you would never let your kids step foot in. [/quote]
