[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a new poster whose kids went to public school all the way through.  And I was a Biglaw partner making $1 million a year.  I didn’t want my kids going to school with a bunch of rich privileged kids.  They had enough privilege already.  [/quote]

Yes, you can learn some very bad entitled privileged behavior. No thank you.[/quote]

There's more socioeconomic diversity than you think, at least at our Big 3. Most of my son's friends have parents who are either feds, work in non-profits or the like (like us), or are teachers. They sacrifice to send their children private and one gets a discount since they teach at the school. Yes, there is a lot of privilege, but he is kept grounded at home and among his peer group and we reap the benefit of an outstanding education. We tried public, and it was a nightmare. Didn't realize how different it could be. No where is perfect, but wouldn't trade this for public. [/quote]

This is such unadulterated BS. It is an absolute and incontrovertible fact that the majority of students in the big three are paying full tuition. So that means that the majority of students are from families who can afford to pay $45,000 a year and more for friggin elementary school.  The vast majority of the remaining students are paying at least $10,000 a year and probably much more.

It is an absolute given that you have to have a good income to afford that.

The idea that a couple of feds sending their kids to private school count as “poor” or “economically diverse” is laughable. Their combined income would be $300,000. You live in a warped world and are completely full of shit.  You cannot argue with a straight face that the big three is for the unwashed. [/quote]
