[quote=Anonymous]Kid at one of the top schools (not Big three, next three). Yes, of course, we all know that private schools do not guarantee good colleges. And yes, we all knew that our kids' GPA would suffer and that being in the private school environment was why were in it for the long run. But what I did NOT expect: That with TO, your kid will have an issue even at Univ. of Maryland, and other second/third tier/flagship state schools. These schools don't give a rats A@@ about the private schools in DC and how good they are. And they go by GPA, period. So the "benefit" is much more stress, more homework, for no gain. I dismissed the whining private school parents who complained about this several years ago. But now I see it. And it sucks. Will my child live? Of course. But for the private school critics, my kid worked hard for 4 years. Really hard. And here we are. [/quote]
