[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not put your kid in an urban school that isn't majority middle and upper middle class and white?   Not only would your child get a more real world education than they'd get at a private school --  you don't see many mass shootings in those environments either.  And for the college obsessed among you (which, I dare say, is probably all of you), a student with involved parents who excels in an urban school can expect his or her pick of top colleges.

Can you name for me a high quality urban public school that isn't majority middle and UMC white? Honest question.

And a note: Magnet schools don't count because, by virtue of the fact that they are selective, they don't have the cross-section of the population you are implying is necessary for a real world education. [/quote]

Wilson in DC,  as well as several public high schools in Arlington, Fairfax, and Montgomery counties.   Top students at any one of them can get as good if not better an education than virtually any private school can offer.  I realize, of course, that posting this on the private school discussion thread is heresy.[/quote]

At least in MCPS, the best high schools are neither urban, nor are they majority non-MC and UMC white. You sound like you have an axe to grind against private schools.[/quote]
