Privates do this as a marketing thing. They're also uniformly college prep. The fact that TC attempts to mimic this marketing without following through on the other part is laughable.

The "cynical" bit refers to parents who see TC as a pathway to elite colleges because they'll be perceived as having overcome a bad school. Yes, some parents think this way. It's part of the problem. The rationing of excellence is sad.

No, I'm perfectly secure in my own decisions. My strong feelings about this stem from my anger at having to leave Alexandria after trying, and failing, to make some changes. [/quote]

Got it.  You were rebuffed that your own proposals weren't adopted, so the parents who didn't share your frustrations are cynics.

TC has a tougher mission than Episcopal.  It wants to appeal to those also considering privates, but has the responsibility to educate all the students who attend.   In that regard, it's not much different than Wakefield.[/quote]
