[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You seem determined to take the view that those who choose private are doing it as some sort of class war. In our case, we are not. [/quote] No, some other posters here created the view that there's some sort of class war going on. I was responding to two types of statements, from apparently different posters: (1) Private kids are smarter than public kids ("private kids can shoot to the top of any public school class"), and (2) Private kids are a better peer group. My kids have done public and private. I know from experience that these statements are wrong. I seem to have offended people, but I don't care. I find these stereotypes very offensive. I don't know whether these statements come from ingrained elitism, or naivete, or a desire to justify the decision to spend lots of money on private. They're still offensive. [/quote]
