Finally got to @CaitlinPacific's stemwinder on elite private schools. It's eye-popping and enraging. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
"Exeter has 1,100 students and a $1.3 billion endowment. Andover, which has 1,150 students, is on track to take in $400 million in its current capital campaign. And all of this cash, glorious cash, comes pouring into the countinghouse 100 percent tax-free."
"Less than 2% of students attend [private] schools. But 24% of Yale’s class of 2024 attended [one]. At Princeton, 25%. At Brown and Dartmouth, 29% In the past 5 yrs, Dalton sent a third of its graduates to the Ivy League. Harvard-Westlake, in LA sent 45 kids to Harvard alone."
And this, from "Quaker" Sidwell in Washington DC, my goodness.
