[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am choosing private because I went to an elite college, and the students from good privates did much better and had an easier time at college than me, largely because of my lackluster secondary education. If I felt public was preparing them adequately, I would have no problem with it, but they spend so much of their time doing remedial work and sitting in the classroom board and idle waiting for other kids to finish. And this was before the pandemic.[/quote] That was far from my experience coming from a good, but nothing noteworthy public school. I and most of my friends from public did as well or better than friends from fancy privates. The few most accomplished in my group of friends went to public. And this all presupposes that your kid will get into an elite college. Maybe she will, maybe she won't. But paying $50k per year on the hope that it will give her a leg up at her elite college seems incredibly misguided.[/quote]
