[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing….

People who can actually afford these schools and belong there don’t care about prestige, rigor or college admissions.

Your the rube trying to place yourself adjacent to them… which is why people will call you a striver,

The rest don’t care about those sophomoric concerns.

Do they end up with the end goal you sweat and toil over, yes but not why and how you hope it’s happening.

Inside the bubble it’s not opaque… it’s only opaque from the outside looking in.[/quote]

You are a good example of what I am describing: people tying a school to their social status (“Inside the bubble, it’s not opaque.”)

My only metric is the quality of the education. And by that metric, the top private school my child attends is failing.[/quote]
You picked a school based on status and prestige. You may have wanted the best education, but that’s not what you actually selected for when you sent your 3-year-old to a specific preschool for “access to top schools” and hired a private consultant, most of whom are there to get their clients into name brands, not best education. You assumed The Name meant “best education” and are only now learning that it doesn’t. [/quote]
