Hey- the reason to private bash is because they are full of strivers. My neighbor (public school grad) couldn’t get her kid into the schools his siblings attend (!) so she sent him to another catholic school that is full of city kids running away from city publics. Well that school is closing this year (because they sub tuition too much) and she can’t bear to send her kid to the top rated blue ribbon elementary full of kids from Hopkins parents just because she can’t stomach to tell everyone her kid goes public. While the private are full of people that are nothing to brag about. First gen private school kids- their parents are a pain!
