[quote=Anonymous]I thought the douchiest part was that her friends are referred to as "self selected from my Ivy".

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did too (live in Potomac so great public, but never considered private). [b]The education just isn't significantly better, period. The parents are a nightmare. My friends who went to public (granted they are self selected from my Ivy and work contacts) are just as smart and successful as my Big 3 friends.[/b]
Those schools are status symbols for the parents. Bottom line. It wasn't that way back in the 80's when I went, but it absolutely is now.[/quote]

I wonder if you realize what a gigantic douchebag this post makes you sound like?  [/quote]

Funny, I thought the douchebag part of that post was this:

[i](live in Potomac so great public, but never considered private)[/i]

:roll: [/quote]

I thought the gratuitous Ivy reference was the douchiest part, but I see your point.   [/quote]

NP. Funny. I thought the last 3 posts were the douchiest part. What's douchy about pointing out that the quality of private education isn't any better than public? What's douchy about pointing out that some (not all) are total nightmares? What's douchy about pointing out that public school kids are just as successful? What on earth is douchy about pointing out that Potomac public schools are great?  From our experience with area public and private schools, OP is right.[/quote][/quote]
