Whereas all the NYC housewive's kids go to private school or they have mentioned how important education is.

One thing goes for both of these shows' women: they may have all the money in the world, but most of them look and act like trash. ... And most of them prove that money doesn't buy class.

I'm pretty sure the private school thing (and not just ANY private school, but the ones that require you to be on waiting lists from conception) is just as much a Society thing as attending charity events. Because private schools are just as dime a dozen asa public schools but only a portion of them mean anything when it comes to college admissions. Not that i'm an expert, but i've met many of private school grads who probably would've fared the same in public school.
And in my experience, private schools get reps under three categories - how whore-y the girls are, how awesome the sports teams are, or how much money you need to get in. Which is essentially what colleges do. private HS leads into private college which lead into more private circles, social, professional or otherwise.
