[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience it’s all about money. These are kids raised by adults who often leave them with Nannies to work or play. Parents who are extremely successful professionally but that limits the amount of parenting and shows the kid(s) that money is the most important thing.

Can’t emphasize enough that these student bodies are full of kids prioritizing money. It’s not like it was when I went to private school in the early 90s.

I wouldn’t want my child in this environment if at all possible. [/quote]

Once again, completely untrue. It’s fine if you don’t want your kid in these environments, but don’t denigrate the 90% of the student body that isn’t from astronomical wealth. And no, we didn’t chase money. Obviously some do, but that’s true of literally every student body. If anything, the schools provided the greatest opportunities for us to uncynically pursue the things we were passionate about, which we continued to pursue through university.

Please stop regurgitating falsehoods. It’s not only about money, though there is a lot of money. Spots at top schools are not only going to the children of insanely rich people. Parents are insanely involved with the schools because, if you end up at one of them, there are constantly events and things which involve parents because they build a school community.

Why is it so hard to fathom that maybe they’re just good schools that provide good educations to bright and ambitious and and thoughtful students? Why is there some assumption that they’re all dumb? Like, get your kid in and check it out and then don’t send them there if you think they’re horrible. [/quote]
