[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP, and I’ll come clean.  Yes, I am (was) a public school parent.  But it was entirely and deliberately by choice.  We had more than enough money to pay for private, and our kids had the smarts and we had the connections to get them into a good one, but honestly we couldn’t stomach the idea because we dreaded the thought of having to mix with the parent community.  The [b]incessant references to the “Big 3” on this board only reinforces that our decision was the right one.

I also wonder what these folks are paying for.  I always thought that one of the key benefits of paying tens of thousands of dollars a year for a top DMV private was better college counseling.  I can understand public school parents having to resort to a forum like this for college admissions advice, but is it really necessary for a Big 3 parent?   I’m guessing it’s not - it couldn’t possibly be! - but that those parents who come here anyway are simply too anxious about the whole process and too embarrassed to approach their schools directly.  Is that what’s going on?

Of course, many Big 3 parents will argue that they didn’t send their kids there for college admissions / counseling purposes but for the education, but we all know that’s not true.  I mean, sure they care about the education but, at least in part, they care because of college.  So you can’t separate the two.  [/quote]

Except it was YOU as a non so-called Big3 parent, who did this. Think about it. Do you really think "Big3" parents post all of these "big 3" threads on this website?

Look in the mirror, hun.[/quote]

OP here.  I honestly don’t understand the point you’re trying to make.  [/quote]
