Parents gone wild

And when I asked if parents will continue to pay for private school it was in the context of parents who want to use it as a path to an elite school. Clearly there are a myriad of additional reasons parents choose private school…@doschicos just provided an insightful list.

Some of those listed in reply #46 are basically purchasing additional opportunities and removing barriers using parental money. Such added opportunities and removal of barriers can be helpful in trying for an elite college, even if there are no guarantees and the student still has to earn some achievement (which is not has hard when opportunities abound and barriers are fewer).
