[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the extent that BS kids who subsequently graduate from HYPS do better than public school kids who subsequently graduate from HYPS the difference isn't because they went to BS (or acquired the exceptional education or social sophistication it supposedly provides) it's because they are members of extraordinary wealthy families. So unless your kid is going to inherit extraordinary family wealth, s/he won't be reaping the kinds of benefits PPs attribute to a BS education. [/quote] This thread has piqued my interest. Why do extraordinarily rich families with multi-generational wealth send their kids to boarding school instead of public school? I know that seems dumb, but I'm curious. Also obviously given the low FARMS rate at TJ, most families are not living below the poverty line. They have a different kind of wealth though. [/quote]
