[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended Whitman and I chose WJ for my children because it is a bit more diverse and the student body seems a little less entitled. I believe the IB program at BCC is available to those outside the BCC area if you are interested in that, although I would probably chose Richard Montgomery over BCC if my kids were going the IB route.[/quote] Funny: same history, same choice, same observation re entitlement. What really drove my decision was the drug culture at the respective schools, though (and don't kid yourself, all large high schools have a drug culture of one kind or another) -- Whitman has a cocaine culture and WJ a pot culture. My kids are quite social and risk-takers by nature; easy access to coke is *not* what they need! For different kids, I could easily see making the opposite choice, though.[/quote]
