[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:49, the poster you quote doesn't indicate that they are a public school graduate, nor do they bring up any public-vs-private debate. The only inflammatory post is yours. [/quote] The self-satisfied pp to whom the earlier posts refer and about whom I was posting is 15:16, who does say with smugness that she is a public-high-school graduate. Please follow the thread before you post. [/quote] NP here and I thought 15:16 made some good points. Maybe she was a little blunt, but here's what I took away: (1) you don't have to go to a top private school to get into an Ivy (2) you don't have to get into an Ivy to have successful career/life (3) even if your DC goes to (a) a top private school and/or (b) an Ivy, whether your DC will be successful depends on his/her ambition and drive, not on the credential per se. Makes sense to me. I can't understand why it seems to have rubbed a lot of you the wrong way, though![/quote]
