[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a privilege to go to the very best private schools O.P. Less than five percent of students go to private schools. The top privates provide a posh + prestigious experience. Students feel valued + are confident. It would be nice if every kid were valued, but they are not.

People always strive for the best. Why does that confuse you. Who would not want to drive a luxury car over an everyday one?

Sure, some publics provide good educations. But they are not elite since anyone can go there.[/quote]

Because a luxury car costs a ton more than a regular car and it doesn’t get you there any faster in the end. All it does is empty your pockets for somethi8ng that loses value the longer you own it.

Was that really the analogy you were striving for? Because it comes off as you just want to show off. But hey, it’s your money on a 50K tuition, or car.[/quote]

That’s a very limited perspective. As a young professional, I drove regular cars. Then I drove luxury cars. It’s a much better experience driving a luxury car, and I’m in my car enough time every day that I appreciate the difference. It drives better, the sound system is built for audiophiles, and it’s just aesthetically more pleasing inside and out. It may not get me where I want to go faster, but it gives me a very different experience.

I do not drive this car to show off, but because I enjoy it. It doesn’t empty my pockets, because my pockets are a bit deeper than the value of my car.

Your analogy is a total fail. [/quote]
