Seriously?  I went to private and public schools and I can assure you that A students in public typically weren't A students in private.  In fact, my friends and I always joked that whenever a public school kid told us their GPA, we'd subtract .6 to get their GPA at our school..[/quote]

Serious question:  what percent of private school parents are as awful as this PP and the PP (troll?) with the snotty private school DD?[/quote]

I haven't read this whole thread, but I think a not insignificant number. Some are overtly snobby, others are just so insular they don't know what public schools are really like.

I went to one of the Big 3 schools, my DC goes to public school (as I might add, do the children of many of my Big 3 classmates). I think my DC has gotten a better overall education than I did and has a much better world view than I did. There are certainly some downsides to public school with college counseling being at the top of the list but that's something you can get externally without much problem. At least at our public school there is a very large group of motivated students who go to top colleges. While the percentages might be lower, the sheer numbers are large. So maybe 20-30% of the class is going to top colleges - that's 150 kids.  That's a pretty good peer group.[/quote]
