[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We opted to keep DS in an independent school K-12 although we had to make some financial (investment) sacrifices to do it.

He emerged with an amazing education, which directly fed him into a top college, where he's doing really, really well. In a couple of years he'll have multiple job offers around the $100,000 mark ... and then he can buy his own property and take his own vacations, if he wants.

We gave him the "present" of an education that was superior to that in the public schools in our affluent, high achieving zip code.  We thought that was a better lifelong gift than a couple of safaris.

yea, no public school student around here went to ivies, got six figure offers out of college, etc..  :lol:  :lol:  :roll:

I guess a public school student who is able to achieve the same as a private school student is actually a lot smarter and harder working since public schools suck so much.[/quote]

It's not like Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google went to a public school...oh wait.  He did.  He went to Eleanor Roosevelt HS in Greenbelt in that dreadful, awful PG County School System that is the death knell of any student with ambition (so say the MCPS boosters).    I also know private school students who went to college and got useless degrees and ended up working middle class jobs.

Where you go to school is only one potential indicator of financial success.  A huge amount is also opportunity and what you choose to do with your education.  [/quote]
