[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this thread devolved into people who dislike private school kids bashing on private school parents.

Typical DCUM drivel. I bet with our anonymity that Jeff provides here, half of you would STFU and be too chicken chicken s**t to look me or my kid in the eyes with their 1500, near perfect GPA and tell them to buck up because their privilege is ending

Sorry (ok not sorry) I can afford private school. [/quote]

Public school parents saying “stop bashing public school kids” is equally to  bashing private school parents?  Pointing out that the problem is within the private schools and it will not be solved by putting down public school kids is not the attack you are making it out to be.

The truth is that the world of college applications is changing and your student is applying at a challenging time for all traditionally high performing kids, whether from private or public.  This is hard to watch our kids go through.

At worst, people on this thread are mocking the inability of many to recognize (1) how their kids accomplishments, while impressive, reflect incredible privilege, and (2) the kids that are getting these slots are also highly accomplished.

Be better.

Exactly. I had to roll my eyes at “it’s all the fault of public school parents that we were forced to denigrate their kids (as documented in the last few pages) to explain why our private school privilege failed us.”

Fortunately I know a lot of smarter, nicer private school parents. [/quote]
