[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If those were the only 2 choices, I'd pick #2 because it's less risky, i.e. If my child is influenced by his peers, I think "competitive for grades" has fewer downsides than "loosely-supervised and wealthy".

I prefer the parents in group 1 to group 2 but I cannot argue with this logic right here and for that reason I’d put my kid in a school with group 2 families. They’ll be more stressed about grades , but I can help them manage that stress better then I can help them navigate billionaires kids with access to drugs and fast cars. [/quote]

You aren’t correctly describing the #2 group around here.  And this idea that #2 group has way more drugs than any other group is silly.  All of the good local publics (MoCo/NArlington/McLean) have same subset of drug culture so it can’t be money. [/quote]

They are saying #1 has more drugs.

And good publics have parents with money too - not everyone with money sends their kids to private.  Just look at my overcrowded public school in a wealthy neighborhood. Our neighborhood has kids that attend a mix of public and private (and this mix occurs whether they be high academic achieving kids or not).[/quote]
