Now the cost for the symbol is greater than the perceived prestige from it. Sure, the Ivies are elite and there are more good private schools in the northeast than the rest of the country combined, but there are plenty of private schools whose education is run of the mill too. A little weeding out of average private schools and focus on the regional publics and state flag ships is a good thing for middle class families. [/QUOTE]
