So what's bothering you more:  The fact that a free public magnet program provides a better education than a 30K + private school, your kid does not have a chance in hell of getting into TJ since it's all based on merit or that there are people who move their families from another country so that their kid can attend TJ?[/quote]

Don't pretend to be innocent. It was your little swipe about how Americans don't care about education. It wasn't just a swipe, it was a lie, because it's manifestly untrue. I agree, you're an ass.[/quote]

I'm sorry you were insulted about that remark.  Didn't mean to.  It's simply a different cultural focus.  I'm talking about a nation of people where it's not considered "strange" to be able to recite the top 10 US World and News rankings of schools in another country and where people are willing to move their kids to another country whose language they don't speak and separate families for the sake of your child's education.  Not college but high school and earlier.  Crazy.  TJ is super popular with Asian Tiger parents and these are not poor immigrants but people who can afford two households in two countries.  McLean is not known for it's bargain cost of living.[/quote]
