[quote=Anonymous]You guys in decent districts like Whitman should know that a lot of your neighbors are assuming that... 1. Your kid, who may be reasonably bright, isn't bright enough to get into a magnet or to be at the top of a Whitman class, and you fear this will hurt his college prospects. I've seen many discussions in this forum about how private schools are often places where average kids can be nurtured to be (or look) above-average. or 2. You're gunning for a highly selective college, and you think the chances are greater from private, either because the private will nurture your average kid, or because the private counselors have better Rolodexes. I say this as a parent who has done both public and private schools. [/quote]
