[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In looking at college admissions and based on comments on this board it seems like most kids from top privates getting in to top schools are athletic recruits, donor kids or other heavily hooked kids. If your child is not hooked do you believe your child's chances are lower at getting into a good college from your private? Why or why not? If so, why did you decide to have your child in private anyway? [/quote]

Not all kids can do well in public as everyone is a unique learner. So private for HS works for some kids just to get them out.

Many parents ie religious want that component and are willing to forgo better college acceptances.

[b]Some think their public is too dangerous for little Johnny & Susie, etc..[/b]

Some it is the saying to others "my kid is in private school" LOL

I have done both, by far public was better for college admissions. [/quote]

knife fights, overdoses in the school, drug use in the bathrooms, and threats to shoot up school don't exactly provide an environment conducive to learning.[/quote]
