I hear you, being that NYC has some of of the greatest HS. but whatever works i guess.

And i agree, spending thousands on private kindergarten/nursery school is silly, however those beginning years (K-3) are so vital to the kid's success afterwards. I suppose if you get it into the kid's head from the beginning that school is serious business, the message will stick, especially if you keep them in said environment.
