My question is the elite privates are supposed to give you a  to the Ivies and best colleges.  But does where your kid goes to school really matter?? And why?  Seems to me that if you have a bright innovative kid that they will succeed in life regardless of where they go to college?

Why the stress?  Why the expense?  Looking for real world examples. [/quote]

Honestly, I dont care IF my kids go to college, much less where. I send my kids to an elite private school to love learning in an environment that values curiosity. Nothing can replace critical thinking skills in life. In my opinion, if they have that from a young age the rest falls into place. The added bonus is that the other children also value learning, so it is a positive feedback loop.  Some parents, yes, are only looking to college. I've perfect the art of smile and nod, but that is not my motive. Their kids are also smart and inquisitive, so it's part of the landscape. Love of learning happens early, so we sent our kids from a very young age.[/quote]
