[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can get the same/better education in public. Go waste money somewhere else.

I bet it's mostly so the parents can brag.[/quote]

Dang. That’s some expensive brag. Especially since we rarely bring it up.  At least if I spent that money on expensive cars and flashy clothes, my privilege would be much more apparent.  Stupid me![/quote]

Rarely bring it up? I have yet to meet a private school parent that doesn’t bring it up FORTHWITH either as a humblebrag or an indirect hint. Not to mention the bumper stickers and sweatshirts. It’s all meant to designate their privilege and access against the nasty poor plebes who have to rough it out with the gangs, bjs and heroin needles of the publics. 
You guys are disgusting. My public school kids will outpace yours in every area of life as my public educated husband outearns and has built a better life than every single private school classmate of mine. [/quote]

The reason they bring it up is because everyone they know who is stuck in DC public school system is trying to get out but they either can’t afford it or can’t get admitted to a school they want to go to. I’m sorry but I’m not that impressed with several of the kids I know it local public high schools in DC. They may be smart but they are not polished in the least and lacking some basic manners. Not all but often I can tell a difference even in how they interact with adults.[/quote]

Stay classy, private parent![/quote]
