[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fellow elite private school parent here.  Remember guys this is a long term play.  Private has smaller classes so our kids get more attention even if they end up at the same colleges.  Writing skills, etc. tend to be stronger from private.  As a lawyer, I have seen this at firms.

+1. Also soft skills and social network. [b]Sidwell kids, for example, aren't hanging with middle class public schoolers in college.[/b] But of course all of this is over the head of hoi polloi who think their kid is the EXACT same as everyone they go to a certain college with. Campuses are stratified as hell. The playing field is never level.[/quote]

Clearly not a parent of a Sidwell alum or Ivy student. [b]Since 60%+ of my DC's Ivy classmates are public school graduates [/b]and about an equal proportion receive financial aid, most of DC's friends at college are "middle class public schoolers." Some are the first in their families to go to college, some are immigrants, half aren't white. [/quote]

Yeah, international "public" schools and elite domestics like Boston Latin, Stuyvesant, Scarsdale, Bronxville, TJ, Cupertino high school.[/quote]
