<p>Associate with kid at SPS from Chicago with terrible schools. Nephews from area in Boston also with bad PHS. No comparison. </p>
<p>NoDrama. Don’t misread me. I think an Exeter or SPS or Mercersburg education may be great. What I don’t believe is that they are always better than PHS.</p>
<p>Back to the beginning question. Is it better to go to an Andover and State School or PHS and a Harvard. I would believe the latter - but wife did first and we have great arguments. She had better “teachers” at State Univ; I had Linus Pauling and Paul Berg and Arthur Kornburg explain why they did what they did - “but read the textbook”</p>
<p>My point is that one does not need to go to an Exeter to get the “best education possible”, a good student can get that anywhere.</p>
