[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Where it becomes problematic is when the obsession turns not to educational quality, but educational PRESTIGE, and especially for those families who already have significant means. I wouldn't have an issue with the obsession with TJ and the Ivies in our community if it were borne of the idea that those are genuinely the best schools that provide the best education. But they're not, and everyone knows they're not. They're just ranked highly because they're extremely selective. [/quote] I think this applies more to public school districts, where parents move their because they see highly rated schools, bringing in parents who care more about education and kids who are better performing, making the schools better. However, TJ actually has higher level classes than the other schools. [/quote]
