Who need private school? I got a laugh one year when Glenlyon Norfolk private school took out full page ads talking about the achievements of their math team, including the youth who "achieved the top individual mark" on the Regional Gauss Math competition.  That was an interesting way of saying that he tied with my daughter that year, while she was winning the Regional Gauss exam 3 years in a row. My wife and I discussed the private school option, but after seeing HR MacMillian's grandkids as a child she was concerned about the mindset promoted at private schools.
