[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, and neither private school seems to have grade inflation while the public school is ridiculously overflated. everyone has an A+ in public. I'm not sure my public school student will be as prepared for the volume of homework/studying a top college will dish out. Again, in my personal experience. [/quote] Smart kids fairly easily adapt to the level of work they are given. That said, people dramatically overstate the amount of work college kids actually have. Also, there is more flexibility in what classes a kid can choose and the Internet offers nearly full transparency in terms of how much work a professor/class entails. My public school kid is at a Top 5 and doing quite well (3.8) in a STEM major while involved in numerous clubs and other social activities. Perhaps the differences are more pronounced with humanities majors…don’t know.[/quote]
