[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If you have a chance, you still are more likely to send your kid to TJ, Langley or McLean [/b][i][u]than some other public school in the area.  They don't guarantee a great life, but they help put most kids on the right path.  [/quote]

I graduated from Mclean, attended Purdue U. Engineering school.  I am working in IT and have my own company.  I've hired and referred many former Mclean graduates just because they have the "Mclean" HS on the resume.  Some didn't work out but most often do.  I am not afraid to say that I am biased towards kids from Mclean HS.  That's just the way life is.  My kids attend Potomac school and I am sure working people who graduated from Potomac school will look at him favorably than let say someone from Wakefield.  Nothing personal.[/quote]

No serious job candidate puts their nonnmagnet public HS on their resume.

And man, if you're already looking sideways at a potential hire simply because they graduated from Wakefield, well ...it speaks to the kind of company you run. [/quote]

Students still in college might. In any event, I only read PP to suggest that he’d look favorably on someone who graduated from the school he attended (and knows), not that having gone to Wakefield would be viewed negatively. [/quote]
