[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wtf, OP.

You actually make the argument FOR private school:

“I even had roommates who FAILED classes when they were 'superstars' at their public high schools. And public school students all think they're geniuses because like 90 percent of them have at least a 4.0 GPA. Meanwhile, maybe 2 percent of students at private high school have a 4.0.”

And yet you found college easy.  I guess the benefit of a superior private education.

My kids did public K-8 and thank me for their private HS experience.  They see what our public HS is like.  Oldest is headed to an Ivy, worked hard but wasn’t a stress case like u, had straight As.  His HS is known to be rigorous and I’m comfortable he is well-prepared.[/quote]

sounds like they went to a low tier private. I guess the random private schools aren't as problematic as schools like Dalton and NCS. You have a high concentration of indians and asians who are hyper-competitive & annoying classmates who chastise you for getting a B or handing in a late assignment as a 14 year old. I'm sorry, but it's such a joke. My dad is extremely successful and always told me that grades aren't important in the real world. It's all about social connections & people skills (specifically in the business world). And I genuinely think private school negatively impacted my social development. No one cares about my degree (or that I graduated summa cum laude). I don't even know why I bothered. [/quote]
