This is peak privilege.
Our fcps puboic gives zero info to students about how many students are ED-inv to a particular school so they have no clue how much. Competition they have or where they stand. Ridiculous.[/quote]

This is not privilege or ridiculous. You get what you pay for in life. We are a solid middle class family. We prioritize education. Our in boundary school would not be a good fit for our kids so we decided to go private. We sacrifice basically everything to do this. No vacations. We don’t eat out. We skimp. That is our choice in how we spend our money. We feel we have earned every perk and positive thing that come from private schools. Do not demean that by calling it privilege or ridiculous. If you want this you can have it but cutting spending elsewhere or through financial aid if you qualify. How we each live our lives and spend our money is a choice - you made yours and I’m sure it comes with lots of perks and benefits. If you chose to have a nice car, or a big house, or a great vacation I congratulate you on figuring out what makes you happy and fits your priorities so don’t you dare demean the perks I chose that fit my priorities. SAT prep, private schools, high quality college counseling was a choice we sacrificed for and is most definitely not a privilege. [/quote]

Ick to this response. What if we can’t afford private AND don’t have a big house or fancy car or European vacations. You need to get out of your bubble friend. [/quote]
