[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, I know kids who graduated from Wilson H.S. and SWW in DC who did well for college acceptance. They would have been 'run of the mill' kids in private.[/quote] Parent of a "Big 3" student with lots of friends at Wilson and Walls. I know you were trying to be complimentary, but it comes off as patronizing. The students who do well at Walls and Wilson would do equally well at any of the selective private schools. They certainly wouldn't be run of the mill. Smart driven children are going to thrive anywhere that they are offered the opportunity to shine, regardless of their parents' ability to pay $40k/year. [/quote] Exactly right. [/quote]
