As I posted earlier, I didn't want to dwell on the possibilities along these lines. But since you raised the issue a fair amount of commentary is now appearing ... such as andWith that it makes me think the article is really a misguided hipster rant. They could send their kids to rub shoulders with all the other elite kids but that is too "mainstream". Why not go through the metal detector experience, it's not like they will have to actually live like that and it makes her seem cool.
Trying to circle back to the original question, IMHO the question of a parent choosing to send their child to a private versus public school forms a fairly complex equation these days. Not every private school is 'good', and not every public school is 'bad'. The cost of sending a child to a 'good' private school is substantial. But in point of fact, there are major costs associated with purchasing / renting a home in a location that allows access to a 'good' public school ( i.e. the 'tuition' costs for that good public school come in the form of high housing prices and high school taxes ). Where certain careers are concerned, attending a private school may allow for 'connections' to be made that will pay off big time later in life. Where certain other careers are concerned, attending a private vs public school will make little if any difference. Thus a different evaluation is really necessary for every individual child and situation.
