You can ask AI. Access to elite colleges is super conditioned on going to private elementary schools. North of 2x.

To simplify: C = elite colleges

P(C| private high school) = 2 P(C| affluent public high school)

P(C | private elementary) = 5P(C | affluent public schools) = 35 P(C)

Sure, but Chetty et al were measuring based on the top-1% of income, the private elementary schools are acting like filters based on income. Yes, they can buy more access to things that will weigh heavily on an admissions acceptance, but that's a filter by parental income which is well known...

I suppose the argument is that a hard working kid from a lower income family can test into a private elementary school on a scholarship?

No. Spar this with AI. The 2X multiplier is AFTER controlling income.

What you’re saying is just a comfortable lie to make people feel better about public schooling.

>spar this with AI

Lmfao. Okay, buddy.
