[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, we've heard all of this "journey" crap from so many other private school parents.  Look, if you have the resources and can burn $50K a year on high school without blinking, who cares?  But here's another thing to remember - so many PPers are trashing these so-called kids in the "bottom 75%" or whatever.  Here's a news flash - not everyone is Ivy League bound.  And, you should stop caring what your partners at the law firm think about where your kid goes to college.  It just goes back to the same thing, it's all about the parents, and they suck.[/quote]

No, just the ones that are imposing Ivy or bust. We have made it very clear to our children that they need to find the right fit for a college, and the academics are a small part of that. But what we are concerned about is the foundational needs around learning, writing and thinking. Many do fine at Wilson, but just like not everyone is bound for an Ivy, Wilson isn't the right place for everyone to thrive.[/quote]
