[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Umm do people not realize that whether you go to a top 25 college or top 50 college it doesn’t matter?

I went to STA, did pretty well and wanted to have fun in college so went to a small private school down south. Screwed around, got good grades because I’m naturally smart and my wife and I made 1.2M last year at 35.

Who cares where you go to college. Most STA grads are naturally gifted and will perform in their careers regardless if they go to Maryland, Columbia or South Carolina. [/quote]

Ignore the haters.  Got to love the posters who say it isn't all about money whilst they send their kid to a 55k a year school, but sure money is no big deal.  Similar to you I went, to a well known dc private (did ok), went to at the time a top 10 liberal arts school--easily got all A's, then onto a solid law school.  It really is not all about where you to college it's about how well prepared you are for wherever you go and your ability to apply your self and make the most of your college experience.  That being said, with STA's and other's privates hefty price tag as a consumer, and yes, the more expensive these schools become the more parents will justifiably feel their child is entitled, will need to show that the school and the price tag are worth it.

Justifiably?  Perhaps understandably. [/quote]

Hmmm and what is justifiable about 55 k for a 4th grade education?  Right now it's what the market will bear but soon or later it will be an emperor has no clothes on moment.  Yes when parents are paying that much money they certainly justifiably should expect outcomes and experiences far better than public school.  [/quote]

We have friends in public and trust me our experience in private is better than theirs regardless of where my kids end up in college. They are trying desperately to move out of a DC public. They say the culture, violence, and behavior issues at school are worse than they could have ever imagined. This is true. They did not get the aid they needed to move. The small classes, facilities, and daily experience are what we are paying for. Parents that don’t get that clearly do not get it and never will. [/quote]
