[quote=Anonymous]NYT article: Private Schools ‘Counsel Out’ the Unsuccessful http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/06/nyregion/06private.html?pagewanted=all "Not discussed on schools’ tours or in their glossy pamphlets, counseling out is nonetheless a matter of practice at many private schools. Unlike the public school system, private schools are not obligated, and often not set up, to handle children having trouble keeping up." "Schools do not publicize how many students they remove this way, but the number is generally a small portion of the enrollment. But some Web sites for parents have offered the suspicion that schools remove lagging students to protect another statistic that schools do publicize: their students’ admissions rates to top colleges"[/quote]
