Mexusa:it certainly does exist. I have very mixed feelings about public schools as well as many private schools/boarding schools. Most of these are really no better than a really good public. Really good publics ,despite the efforts of the teachers and theeir union to dumb and numb them into oblivion, are a product of the parents in that community. You see this most predominantly in heavily Jewish and Asian towns/communities. Northern Virginia, Rye, NY, Scarsdale, NY, Brookline, Ma, Newton, Ma.
