Having had kids in both top selective public and 2nd tier private, I can honestly say the public school kids are far smarter and impressive from K on. Its very interesting how much family and preschool and other connections secure a spot for average kids. Most of these kids in my dc's private could never have made it at my other dc's public.

Statements like this are when I wish UB had screen names, so I could discount all of this poster's other comments as well. I would say the same about any blanket statements about groups of children--no matter their schools, their race or their income level. [ Reply | More
