You don’t think that you are just a number  at a private school, especially when you pay over $50,000 for it!? Lol lol trust me you’re just a number to them because you are paying. Nobody knows who you are, they do not care about your kid, the grades are inflated, your child is really not as smart as you think they are, the teachers just give A’s to avoid talking to all of you., and everything is a fraud. Keep writing a check and being ripped off so you can get inflated a grades and get into college. You already know that your child is not that smart. You just don’t want to go to public DC schools with Black and Hispanic students.

quote=Anonymous]You are starting off with the opinion that those public schools are "so good."

Every family has a different reason, but I would first start with the understanding that the public schools aren't always great for some students or families.

Both my wife and I are public school graduates and while it has been 30+ years, the issues in public schools are the similar now as they were then, at least from our experience with our older child. She moved to private from one of the "W" schools you list and her experience has been heaps better. As we near graduation, we are thankful she attends her current school and are looking forward to her entering college with confidence and a solid academic background.
Could she have developed all of the skills in public? Probably. But there was undoubtedly a lot less drama, a safer social environment, and she has a much wider circle of peers and friends than she would have had she stayed in public.[/quote][/quote]
