[quote=deadzone]For those on this board that are of the opinion to send their kids “go to the best college you can afford”, I am interested in your opinions regarding K-12 education. I would assume anyone with that elitist of an attitude towards College would certainly not allow their precious child to waste away their minds in a San Diego public school.
So financially that is even a bigger deal. If you pay for 12 years of private schooling vs. 12 years of free public education that is huge financial drain. What is the ROI on that? I am fairly certain that there are successful kids who get into great colleges (Ivy included) even from some of the lower rated SD public high schools.[/quote]Exactly, if Ivy is for networking and rubbing shoulders, then wouldn’t you be sending your kids to La Jolla Country Day from Pre-school? After all, your kid can build a much stronger bond with the rich and famous when they start playing together at 3. After all, the statistic of extremely successful people going to elite private pre-K to 12 grade is pretty high.
