[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too many people don’t know when the dance is over and it’s time to leave.

All too often a lot of transplant overspend their time in nyc. Frankly, if you’re not affluent in terms of networks — NOT income, it’s time to gtfo of nyc.

The nyc privates are a beast and for the very very wealthy. [/quote]

I have to say,[b] the top NYC privates offer unparalleled education.[/b] The suburban publics don’t come even close. [/quote]

This is not true and there is data to prove this is not true.

There is tons of data shows that the kids at specialized high schools in NYC get far higher test scores and SAT scores than the kids at the most elite private schools in Manhattan but still go on to better colleges than the poor/working class kids at specialized high schools like Stuyvesant.

It has nothing to do with the education at the private schools being superior but everything to do with most of the kids at the private schools are born wealth/afflluent. Many of whom have legacy and a network that regular kids from average background don't have.

Anything associated with wealth is automatically seen as superior. Because private schools have wealthy student bodies you conflate that with a superior education. Data shows the opposite.

The schools in Scarsdale, Larchmont, Rye, Mamaroneck, ect. and other affluent neighborhoods in the tri-state area are just as good as the top privates in NYC.

That said, the network at elite privates is unparalleled. The education? Not so much.[/quote]
