[quote=Anonymous]Many wealthy people value social network more than intellectual rigor. And, many private school admissions offices value wealthy parents more than the intellectual capacity of their students. Those two statements mean that while there will be some bright kids in a private school class, there will also be some not very bright students who are there because their parents have a lot of money or are important DC people. In a CES or MS magnet cohort, the kids are all exceptionally bright. It is an entirely different environment than private when it comes to intellectual challenge and encouragement, which comes as much from the peers as the teachers. The CES and MS magnets were life-changing for both my kids. [/quote]
