[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 2397643, member: 70903"] Ok - given that your dad just retired from TCU - I am guessing you realize that you would probably have a hard time getting in to TCU now vs in 2003 outside of family connections. And based on what you said about high school and since you dad was on the board at TVS - you probably also realize that if you had attended a private school - you would have had better performance since you would not have been "allowed" by any private high school to miss that much and you would have been provided a support mechanism through the teachers, admins, and fellow students to help you overcome whatever the issue was. And chances are it would not have even developed because you would have been more engaged in school to begin with since that is one of the known advantages of the smaller and single campus concept that the private schools in FtW utilize. Thus, you would have potentially gotten in to UT when you went to school and would be more capable of getting into UT, A&M, TCU, Baylor, SMU, etc today - all of which are a LOT harder to get in then 10 years ago - even though you say you are not a genius (kind of think you are underestimating yourself). But given all of that - you don't really think spending the money on private school would be worth it if you were a kid in K-12 right now? Guess I disagree with you - because it seems like you a prime example of a kid that would have greatly benefited from the extra support and attention that a kid gets a private school that a public school is not capable of delivering.
