[quote=Anonymous]What is the animus driving this hijack of this thread and why does EVERY discussion about college placement and test scores devolve into a cat fight over " who's kid is really actually smarter, a harder worker and - it seems according to some parents- an overall better human being

Nonsense.

This is Washington and, if you flashback 30 years ago, the parents on BOTH sides of this debate were classmates at the same Universities, went to the same Grad schools and landed around the same time competing on bids for houses in NW DC and then 5-10 years later placements for their DC's at in bounds lotteries vs the area Privates

These kids are apples to apples/ the same

No kid is smarter or better because they went to Wilson or because they went to Sidwell. More than that, these kids are 17/18 and have not really done anything in their future professional lives yet so no one knows who will contribute to the cure for CA or who will be just another jerk off lawyer

What do the Private schools do really well: take a kid from a non- WOP DC neighborhood and send them on their way in life to a great college environment with a string set of life/ study skills. THAT is something . Give them that. [/quote]
