Yes because all the kids on welfare are making it to magnent schools.  :roll:  It is no different in public.  The kids that have coddling parents and tutors are the ones that get into magnets.

And our private gives out financial aid to 30% of the students.  It isn't all rich.  Many people, including myself, make huge sacrifices for private school. Smaller home, used cars, a little more frugal.    I see plenty of moms with their jewelry, LV bag and huge Mercedes SUV dropping their kids off at public before going off to yoga, lunch and a shopping spree.  Not everyone has the same priorities but it doesn't mean only the rich send their kids to private.  [/quote]

Only on DCUM do I encounter the idea that if you can afford to pay for private school by living in a non-giant house and driving used cars, then that means that you're not affluent.[/quote]

We live in a townhouse, drive a 10yr old car and make less than $100K a year combined. That is not affluent. But thanks for trying to make me feel rich :) [/quote]

Great.  So you're asking other families to subsidize your child to attend a private elementary or secondary school.  We have two kids in MCPS and one kid in private (full pay), and we live very very frugally to pay that one private school tuition.[/quote]
