[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the March forums when decision letters come out form Private schools. Being able to [i]afford private[/i] school does not always or even usually translate into [i]"going private"[/i] As in, oh, we make 1.5 million a year, so we have decided DC will go to Sidwell next year, NOT.[/quote]

How many kids in the DC area do you think, PP, have families that make $1.5 million per year but end up in a charter school because they can't get into any private school?  Not all private schools are as competitive as Sidwell.

I don't know of a single family at BASIS or Latin that is there because, despite their best efforts and ample wealth, their kids could not get into a private school.   Of course, I don't know them all.[/quote]

I think you would agree with me if you read my whole post, instead of disecting part of it out to rebut. My point is same as yours. I was responding to a poster who said, that she knew many high SES people who " could [i]choose[/i] to go private, but sent their DC to a charter instead. When I have heard this discussed people said, " we are applying to such as such... these are peole who could pay full tuition and fund a  new athletci field or library. They did not say, " we are going private" . They land somewhere, and yes it will be some private and , no, it will not be a Charter school in Ward 1.[/quote]
