[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a public and then a big three. I sort of understand what you mean in terms of code. However, I think the experience of and ability to interact with people from different socioeconomic backgrounds is more valuable. Not sure if you get that much at, say, Whitman, but you might at many other public schools. Best mix may be public middle and private high school. iMO the main benefit to a private school education is writing skills. [/quote] I agree with this entirely. I did the same (though NYC area. Public until 10th then boarding school) and I think it was a great combo. I specifically do NOT want to have kids obsessed with the "codes." Know about them? Sure. Feel comfortable in that environment? Ok. But I want them to feel that way with everyone not be elite seeking a** kissers. Also, grit. Isn't that supposed to be important? I don't think it's great to be surrounded entirely by wealthy, coddled people your whole life. [/quote]
