[quote=Anonymous]Most parents are squandering their money on private school education, at least in MOCO, HOCO, or Northern Virginia. I have numerous family members and friends who attended "average" public schools K-12 and ended up nuking it at places like Stanford, Dartmouth, Cornell, U of Michigan, UVA etc. And I have plenty of friends and colleagues whose kids attended St. Johns, GP, NCS, GDS, Sidwell Friends etc and failed to gain acceptance to first rate universities. And there were plenty stories of private school bullying, or getting drinks roofied at Landon parties. I watched a Metro Swim Meet and the Gonzaga swimmers lost and wouldn't even shake the hands of the public school swim team that beat them. A lot of kids just don't need small class size and they don't need to be coddled. And a lot of parents don't need to be told how wonderful their kids are by school counselors and teachers. [/quote]
