So here is a zinger… At a public school and asked by a colleague why we chose to send DD to Choate over LPS.
This same colleague often complains to me how so many students are disengaged and do not take their education seriously. Had to explain that it was NOT our decision, it was hers; she pushed for it and she was trying to get away from all of those disengaged peers! All LPSs know the difference and spend countless hours complaining about the lessening quality of public education. To pretend it doesn’t exist is naïve and disingenuous.
