Pay to play at private schools. No joke some DC families do this.[/quote]

Why would it be a joke? One reason we are sending our kids to private is because after-school sports are mandatory and several teams are no-cut. I would like my kids to continue being active in HS even if they aren’t super talented.[/quote]

Our private is the opposite. Way more competitive than public.  But they have ma y alum in professional leagues—nba, nfl and always a hood showing in March Madness.  Even really good players get cut.[/quote]

That’s not more competitive than a public school like Whitman where there are several thousand kids [/quote]

Umm. Yes it is.  We are talking 6’7” HS Freshmen, kids going first round draft pick, 7 alum in the Final Four, etc. it’s not possible for your average good athlete on a top travel team to make the HS teams.[/quote]

Okay so you picked the dumb jock private. We are talking about the top privates here.[/quote]

What, 25 kids go out and the bottom half don’t make it in your school? And the top half were recruited to play so they’re very talented? Big publics can have 90 kids try out for a freshman team that doesn’t even end up being very good, despite the competition to get chosen, compared to other similar schools with better teams. It is really crazy. [/quote]
