[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here -- do most people expect their kids to go to grad school?  I sort of assume my ES kid will, although it's too soon to know what field she'll pursue.  Of course I'd love her to get into top colleges (with full rides, while we're dreaming!) but personally, I went to an okay college and a great grad school, and the grad school is what opened doors for me.  If you think your kid will get a graduate degree, is a top college really that important?[/quote]

If people are being honest here, what I am reading is people don't send their kids to private for that reason (i.e., top college admission). I don't know if I believe that but that's what they are saying. [/quote]

I have a kid in private school. I went to private high school. DH went to public school. College admissions was not part of the conversation when we decided to have DD go to private school. Instead, it was about finding a place where she can access a wide-ranging curriculum in a safe, joyous environment. She’s only 6, so focusing on what she’ll do in 12 years seems a little ridiculous. Our focus was on her elementary education. If we can get that right, then hopefully the rest can flow from there. [/quote]
