[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all privates and publics are the same. Everyone has different priorities. I understand wanting to send kids to [b]elite privates[/b] or special privates for SN children. I don’t understand those who send their kids to mediocre private schools so their kids can get coddled. At the same time, college admissions are unimpressive. No thanks.[/quote] Look, my kids go to an "elite private," but if you knew how many parents here are legacies at T20 schools, you would probably have a different view of the value of this school for the purpose of college admissions. If you're going to a private, it has to be for what the private school is giving you in and of itself. It can't be trying to buy your way into a better school because it probably will fail. [/quote]
