[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sent our kids to public schools in NOVA then to UVA.  Saved thousands and thousands of dollars in tuition while the kids got a great education and attended a college that was plenty good enough for us to hold our heads up high at cocktail parties and other DMV social events - and to retire much earlier than the typical DCUM poster.

But hey, continue to argue about whether Northeastern or Emory or Tulane or etc is prestigious and worth the money.  Y’all are crazy.  [/quote]

Well, I would have done that too but UVA only takes the top 5% of the class and in some high schools, that’s still a 4.5. It wasn’t an option for my kid. So maybe be grateful your kids got into UVA and gave you the freedom you have now.  [/quote]

Wrong.
