[quote=Anonymous][quote]Also, please be careful of folks on this board who are knocking the US. I don't think these folks travel much. FYI, the US is not the only nation with a culture that obsess over schools or has a a significant number of private schools. Schools like STA and GP were based on the British school model. Yes, that culture still exist in the UK. Ever heard of Eton and Warwick? France also is not immune. Ever travel to Latin America. Do you think anyone who can afford to does not send their kid to the top private schools? Ever been to Pakistan, Japan, China, or Australia. You will also find many parents in those countries who chose to send their kids to private schools. All this is done to ensure that their kids are prepared to enter the best schools in those countries. Like the US, this same culture exists in cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.[/quote]

Yup.  And go anywhere in the world, those of a certain class will think that the wealthy elite class is nuts.  From what I hear about urban China, it's way worse, especially since most people only have one child.  The competition to go to the top prep schools is fierce.[/quote]
