Yeah, I don't really see black families poo-pooing private schools. "Good on you" is the message.

Not my experience. Every person that I have shared my choice with who has some ridiculous critiscm has been Black. [/quote]

You must not be a member of Jack & Jill (or know many members).  The vast majority of members in the DC chapter (proudly) send their children to private school (especially for high school).  Wilson and SWW graduates are a distinct minority; to say nothing of Banneker or other public schools.  It sounds as if you need a different AA social circle.[/quote]

Hahahahaha! Yeah NO I am NOT a member of Jack and Jill. I'm laughing because I was just saying be to myself every Black person responding that no one criticized their choice must be from that J&J circle. J&J are predominantly Black people who grew up with money or new money Black people who would prefer to forget from where they came. I have ZERO desire to be a part of that circle. [/quote]

Based on your description, it's clear that you don't know any actual J&J members.  It appears that you're more comfortable relying on tired stereotypes and ignorance.  Therefore, please continue to surround yourself with AA who criticize your efforts to provide what you think is the best education for your children.  Good luck with that dear  :roll: .[/quote]

I've met enough. They are mostly snobs. The fact that you even associate private schools acceptance with Jack and Jill speaks volumes. They are the Black elite. That's OK, but some of us aren't interested in only associating with the so called elite.
