[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If all you care about is getting to the next level in the social strata, there is no substitute for a Big 3 private school.[/quote] What's the next level socially? Are you including top-college placement as a factor in "social strata"? If so, then there are lots of different paths to placement in a top college. Substitutes do exist. [/quote] I think the prior post says exactly what it means. Rooted much more in perception than in reality, I'll grant you that, is the sense that families in private school are of the upper-classes. One way for your typical striver, well educated, successful DC area family to separate themselves from everyone else (i.e., the "masses," at least by DC standards) is to get branded with a Big 3 association. I'm frankly suprised they don't get logo tattoos once their 5 year old gains admission.[/quote]
