[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to private school hurts your chances of getting into a good college. Tell them to hang onto the money for college instead.[/quote] There’s no evidence of this at the private school where I work. We have excellent college outcomes. I’d love to see your data on this. [/quote] The argument is more or less that, because the student population is stronger, it's harder to have a high GPA, and in any case, test score increases from better education are minimized because the primary admissions tests are *aptitude* tests, deliberately designed so as to be invariant (or at least less variant) to school quality. It's not implausible, though, like you, I would like to see better data on college admissions, and more importantly, life outcomes, by type of school & etc. [/quote]
