[quote=Anonymous]pp thanks for the lengthy response. I agree with one point that you make: private schools teach kids how to write well. Public schools have their talented writers too, but they seem to learn it from a home culture more than in school. WRT STEM, I think that the good public schools have the advantage, better resources and staff at the HS level. I had friends who went to private school then transferred into public (Whitman) and they could write better, they complained less, and they were for the most part better prepared when we had big projects and so on. They had no advantages in the sciences or math and were rarely in the top math groups. That said, you can teach a child to write well at home, or for that tuition, I could hire a summer tutor to spend three hours a week with my child tecahing writing. Maybe even a Holton teacher.
