[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume if anything, private school will hurt my kids’ chances in college admissions because they will have a lower class ranking. The flip side is they’ll end up better educated and more well-rounded than they would have had they gone to public school, so we’ll take the trade-off.[/quote] +1 It’s bizarre how fervently some people believe that the only reason anyone chooses private school is for college admission, as if those four college years are the ultimate referendum on the previous 13 years of education. They are really, really not. [/quote] I was a Biglaw partner and one of the very few partners who didn't send their kids to private -- including many to the Big 3. My impression was that all of my partners were obsessed with name brand colleges and that that's why they sent their kids to private schools. So maybe my study sample was skewed. Interestingly, not very many of them got their kids into Ivies in the end.[/quote]
