[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My favorite:

“ Religion aside, why are parents spending so much money to send their kids to private schools?

CAL: That’s a great question, and some economists that have looked at these types of conclusions are really confused by that. Why would somebody pay money for a service that is apparently inferior to one they could get for free? It flies in the face of economic logic.”

Depends on the private. IMO, the NE boarding schools, the "big 3" locally and places like Harvard-Westlake, Lab School in Chicago, Lakeside in Seattle - a handful of others, are worth it. After that, depends on the kid and the fit with public.[/quote]

I agree if the only criteria you are looking at are college admissions.  The big3 locally are not worth it if you compare them to top NYC private schools or even the top publics in the DMV and I am not talking about magnets like TJ or Blair but regular public high schools like Olney and the W pyramid.  So it depends on the private school and what is available in the area.[/quote]
