[quote=Anonymous]PP with kid who went to elite private rather than Blair magnet.  The reason I used the comparison of tuition to a new car is because someone earlier in the thread said that the tuition was equivalent to a new car every year.  I certainly don't believe that public school parents prefer cars to education or that they are buying a new car every year.

I don't want to be too specific because I could out my child.  She attended a middle school magnet .  She did well academically but had some problems socially. She was one of the few Latino/Black students in the magnet program that year. She had a hard time making friends.  Some of the Asian girls she befriended said their parents would not approve of their friendship with her.  In the elite private school she attended for high school there were many more black/Latino students who were high achieving.  She finally felt she had a peer group.  The white and Asian students in the private high school were also much more open to forming friendships.  Some of this could just involve the increased maturity of high school students, but it is very difficult to be a very high performing URM, and she felt more supported in his private.[/quote]
