It's obviously not even close to worth it for 99% of people. The only people who it is worth it to are the people who are really interest in $9,000 3-piece suits.

Date: May 1st, 2024 11:48 PM Author: Free-loading House It doesn't cost all that much more than the local (I guess regional) elite prep school, so really the question is whether/how far you want to ship your kid off.
If I lived in middle/east tennessee, I'd send my kid to montgomery bell or baylor way before andover or exeter. |

Also, I was surrounded by people who were more or less as intelligent as I was
I've gotten life-changing jobs thanks to former HS acquaintances and proud alums
So it pretty much matters as much as going to a good college or good grad school, with the same caveats applying
