[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do I really think? Your private school kid couldn't cut it in the competitive atmosphere of public school.

Like the PP said, her son was not competitive enough to get into advanced classes so she sent him to private school.

Nothing wrong with that per se, of course at some point in his life he will probably be competing against all these smart public school kids and it may come as a bit of a shock when his mom and dad can't "pull him out" of those situations as well.[/quote]

Really? Every private school kid couldn't cut it in the public school world? :roll: [/quote]

Of course not. Lots of bright super smart kids go to private school. But they round out the school with mediocre students whose parents can afford full tuition. I get it that a B student in public school may be an A  student with lots of help, and that's appealing to a lot of parents. But don't kid yourself that your barely A student at private can compete with the AP/magnet students in public.

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]

Seriously?

Then you and your friends were kidding yourselves. Understandable since from the get-go you were told how speshal you were. Really think you are better students than the top 15 at lets's say -- any of the Ws in bethesda?[/quote]
