[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where in the world did you get that idea about private schools? Where are you from? Are you Jewish by chance? The only people I know with that idea are from the sticks. Every place where I have lived (very urban and big city) ... the top 5% of the economic class goes to private and everyone else is SOL!

[quote=Anonymous]in most parts of the country, private school IS for kids who can't hack it in public (for whatever reason.) but in the DC/NYC/Boston corridor the answer is more complex - bring in social status, family expectations, and buying into a certain group.  A kind of branding, so you can easily identify people who share your financial and philosophical positions. [/quote][/quote]

Not the PP, but I agree.  When you get out of the big cities (no not synonymous with the sticks), private school kids are generally those that had some kind of "issue" in public schools.  The top 5% of the economic class are usually concentrated in the same areas, and those kids attend the local public schools.  [/quote]
