[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, DCUM is my secret addiction these days (it's better than Ben and Jerry's!).[/quote]  :lol:

Then you need to add in the extra level of privilege the private school students possess. Almost all of the top students at my DC's school are legacy at elite schools. They're not super wealthy development cases, but [b]their parents have PBK keys a[/b]nd multiple elite degrees. These are children born on the academic version of 3rd base. My DC's friends from families of modest means have parents who are academics and teachers and public servants and nonprofit types with lots of cultural and intellectual capital. They are adept at "intellectual achievement," so the odds are their children would "win the (college) game" no matter where they went to high school.

My Well-written points with lots of food points.  Thanks!

I did a double-take, though, wondering what Pottery Barn Kids had to do with anything.   :lol:   My HSLAC did not have a Phi Beta Kappa chapter (deliberately--the school scorned external honor societies).

Thanks for the thoughtful post and for the laugh! [/quote]
