[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People say this? That's not even a small reason we chose private. My twelve year old wants to go to West Point. I have no idea is being private will help or hurt him, and I honestly don't care.[/quote]
You don't care if something is going to hurt his chances getting into his dream school?  Not buying it.[/quote]

Well, I do care. But I can't in good conscience put him in public school, especially watching them all shut down during covid (among other reasons).[/quote]
ok, but then you should also care if him being in private school might hurt his chances for college, per this thread.

My kid is in a public magnet, and in some ways, that has  hurt them because they all apply to the same T15 schools.[/quote]

It’s absurd to say that private school might hurt  a kid’s chances “for college”.

It might, however, hurt a kid’s chances for admittance to a very small number of the most competitive colleges. Luckily, I know that it’s possible to get an excellent education at many different colleges, at least one of which seems likely to accept my child.

We did not have lots of options for getting my kid a great elementary and secondary education. We will have many, many options for a great college education. Even if those options aren’t on the pathetically short list that some DCUMers find acceptable. [/quote]
