[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The elite privates really shouldn’t have grades. To simply get admitted into an elite is an accomplishment — and once in, the rigor, depth and expectations are vastly superior to anything “taught” in a public, where kids are given all As for having a pulse. It’s just not fair.[/quote]

It's not hard to be admitted to the "elite privates" -- mainly, you just have to be rich. And the schools are not terribly impressive. Look at where their graduates get accepted to college.  [/quote]

Huh?

I thought this was a forum about DC schools, and, last I checked, neither Andover nor Exeter are here. Are we comparing all schools everywhere now? As for the Georgetown Prep list, am I supposed to be impressed by this? [/quote]

Certainly some parents in DC are considering boarding school. [/quote]

Right. This doesn’t say DC schools; it says private schools. Sorry those schools fit your argument that elite private schools are mediocre. Plenty of DC kids go to boarding schools, moreover.[/quote]
