[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if a child coming from public is not prepared, I don't see how a hard-working kid cannot catch up.
It's not like first 2 years of college in US is hard or even 3 and 4. I don't know any of my foreign born friends or international student who were unable to keep up and do it all in English. I went to 3 different colleges in US and they were all easier than my high school. How bad is one US high school if it is even easier than college here?
DC is not going to private because we don't have money (arrived in US not long ago and haven't had time to make money here). DC is the kind of kid who could catch up to his peers in no time. He also doesn't need any particular college to get him a good career. He has so many other ideas and just needs to try them out. He is the kid a company wants regardless where he went to school or if he went to school at all. He has many such kids in his class in our public school, so it's not like he doesn't know what other kids are capable of. I don't see how a college or some rich kids can somehow surprise him with their smarts or work ethic. Quite the opposite.[/quote]

I will gently remind you that not all private school kids are “rich kids”. We never would have been able to send ours without financial aid.  But regardless, it sounds like your kid will do great, so congratulations. I don’t think a single person has claimed, though, that a public school education [b]can’t[/b] yield a great outcome.
