[quote=Anonymous][quote] OP here. Obviously I recognize that parents in either setting aren’t a monolith, although I’d suggest that using a so-called “W” school as an example of a typical public school is laughable.

What jumps out at me on this forum is that, however broadly or narrowly one defines the Big 3, the student population there is a tiny fraction of high school students in the DMV. Every Big 3 senior class combined is probably smaller than a single class at a typical DMV public high school. Yet, self-identifying Big 3 parents appear to pipe in in every single thread. It happens frequently enough to allow one to generalize about the parent population with some degree of confidence, wouldn’t you say?[/quote]

No, I don’t agree, just like I would not generalize that all public school parents seem to have a chip on their shoulder and be insecure just because I get a vibe of that from your posts.  You do realize that your comment about W schools is offensive, right?  I’m sure the vast majority of parents of kids in those schools consider that those schools are exactly typical public schools - and many of them probably make a conscious choice to send their kids there for that reason (just as it sounds you did with respect your own kids and public school).[/quote]
