[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools give social and professional connections that are superior to Ivies. The quality of education, due to individualized attention and resources and lack of faculty tenure, is better than any public by leaps and bounds (sorry, Scarsdale). They will harm your college admissions prospects significantly but that doesn’t matter. It’s better to go to Collegiate and SMU than Rye HS and Cornell. [/quote]

Yeah, no. Particularly at a lower-tier school, connections of that sort only ever happen if you fit in with the popular crowd - which the majority of students don't - and individual attention and resources can't make up for an unchallenging curriculum and dumb classmates.

If you want your bright, interesting kid to become their best self then for god's sake don't have them spend their high school career with lazy overprivileged kids at a school that gives them A's for spelling their name correctly.[/quote]

Students at Collegiate and Trinity aren’t lazy, the bottom quarter is far more put together than anything at a public school.

Plenty of rich kids aren’t “popular” and you don’t need to be rich to be friends with them. People make careers out of their kindergarten class and came from nothing. [/quote]
