[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And its funny to see all of the teeth gnashing about hawing about tuition and expenses and this and that.

Son: public school kid (FCPS), graduated magna cum laude from George Mason, graduated cum laude from Georgetown, and is now getting his PhD at Hopkins.  Not bad for a 23 year old.

How much did we pay?  Well nothing for high school.  About $110k for four years of college (including a stint at Oxford), $40k for Georgetown (he got a partial grant), and Hopkins is free.

Oh well, the PHD is free.  That shouldn't be in this conversation. My whole education in my home country was free. I also got a PhD from Ivies.  It is also becoming increasingly popular to study abroad.

But is a private school all about college placement? [/quote]

Apparently it is for public school parents who like to make broad claims without presenting evidence. Those claims also happen to contradict available evidence. [/quote]

You have provided zero evidence other than the *correlation* between Ivy attendance and private school attendance. Not causation. [/quote]

I never claimed causation. Although the Forbes article makes a pretty good case as to the reasons.

You claimed that public school kids do as well or better than private school kids and did not even provide correlation. [/quote]
