[quote=Anonymous]I earned a PhD from Johns Hopkins after graduating from my Ivy.  Had a great time in college. Seldom felt like I was behind the curve academically.

My outdoorsy, hippie parents (former Peace Corps volunteers) were hostile to TV, so my siblings and I read a great deal.  My siblings went to Harvard. My brother tutored me in math. We did a lot of hiking/backpacking, took music lessons at school and played in a regional orchestra, worked as youth sports referees and lifeguards, served on student government, did readings at our church etc. to build confidence.  Our HS pals mostly came from working-class families, yet went on to Yale, Georgetown, MIT etc.  We had many terrific AP teachers, mostly close to retirement.  My college pals were mostly on boatloads of fi aid themselves.

I don't want my children in private school with droves of white and UMC or rich classmates.  I don't mind tutoring them in APS, and neither does my spouse (Stanford grad from low-income immigrant family).
