[quote=Anonymous]I went to an elite private school in CA, and we were definitely in the bottom quarter of wealth there. BUT in those days (I am 42) you didn't have to be mega rich to go private, so my parents did not have to scrimp to make the 8K/yr tuition. I feel like these days the gap between rich and not so rich is just so much more dramatic, and it starts in private school. So while in theory we could stretch to afford tuition at one of the big 3, we could not pay for heliskiing weekends or Columbus Day trips to Venice, which seems to be the norm at these places now. Just not sure I want to give my kids that inferiority complex. All that said, while I love our NW DC public, I don't kid myself that the instruction is as good. [/quote]
