[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wrote the hypothesis post earlier in the thread. I’ll add a bit more.

Parents who send their kids to top-tier private high schools tend to have prestige jobs and degrees, thus they highly value educational pedigree - and why their kid is at a prestige private high school! They send the message to their kids that academics are very important and that they should work hard to attend the best colleges.

Parents who live in wealthy zip codes and who send their kids to public schools tend to have high-paying jobs that don’t depend on educational pedigree. Examples professions might be IT and sales. By way of the parents, their children believe that while school is important, it’s not most important. Thus, while they are good students, they’re not great ones, and see kids heading to prestige colleges as strivers, try hards, and overly invested in academics.

If that background is true, public kids with great college options may be reluctant to post their results. [/quote]

Are you for real? You think lawyers and professors and doctors and plenty of other professionals don't believe in the public school system and value education? What an outrageously snobbish and elitist thing to say.[/quote]
