[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who is a sophomore at a Big 3 and by that let's say I mean St Albans/NCS, GDS, Sidwell or Maret.  I have heard through my school grapevine that this year the kids at the elite privates are having terrible results-
 especially the unhooked kids.  I have heard that they are negatively affected by test-optional, the elimination of AP's and grade deflation.

Ok please tell me your experiences- Big 3 parents only please...I am not interested in hearing how well your W school kid did, or how stupid you think I am for paying private school tuition.[/quote]

The rumors are true.  It's been horrible.  Half a mil in private and ended up exactly where we would have if we stayed with our highly regarded public school.[/quote]

Hahahahaha. *Points and laughs.*[/quote]

PP was foolish to believe that any college outcome was guaranteed.

But my kid’s been in person all year, not peering into a screen. I feel like my money was well spent. [/quote]

Mine peered into a screen and didn’t need to sit in a classroom with peers in order to learn. Less hand holding, more independent work. That was attractive to colleges.[/quote]

Great! So everybody’s happy.[/quote]
