[quote=Anonymous]It will always be the case that donut hole families will pass over elite privates for state flagships. It’s also the case that, if money weren’t an issue, many of those same families would choose the elite private in a heartbeat (just as full pay and FA families routinely do now). So, no, it’s not a referendum on the prestige of the private school. It’s a story about different families with different resources and priorities. What makes it so fraught is some people in that middle place, who are making a rational choice given their circumstances, feel aggrieved or defensive because their demographic (whose HHI is in the six figures) considers itself quite successful and this is the moment when there starts to look like there may be a categorical divide among upper middle class families based on ability to pay. And there’s a claim that which side of the divide your kids end up on will affect their life chances. [/quote]
