<p>Exactly…especially after knowing some who/whose children experienced attending some very substandard privates which makes even an average/mediocre NYC public high school look like a paragon of academic excellence. Heck…one of those Mississippi cousins said as much when he compared NYC’s public education system with his local public and private schools. </p>
<p>My Mississippi cousins’ parents squandered quite a bit of money on those substandard privates before wising up after a year. Also, the classmate who attended a private school with the joke science requirements ended up struggling to complete the science and quantitative proficiency requirements at my LAC. Requirements that weren’t considered particularly difficult by most NYC public school graduates at my LAC…including those who attended the equivalents of Seward Park High as fondly cited by monydad.</p>
