[quote=Anonymous]my older kid is a junior at a top SLAC - was a recruited athlete from a large public where he was top 10%. He feels his preparation and study habits are far superior to many of the “prep school kids” that account for about half his current class. His take is yeah kids fall thru the cracks easier at the publics, but the kids in that top 10% - and the quality of the AP or IB instruction at his public was at least as good or superior to prep kids who had more coddling. He said his public school AP econ teacher prepared him for that major extremely well. So these blanket statements about privates preparing kids better, better study habits, creating a life of learning, blah blah - are not always accurate. One thing I will give the privates - they keep the lower tier from “falling thru the cracks” as my kid said[/quote]
