[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had three kids graduate from Whitman. You have to try out for everything. In other MCPS high schools, some sports need players or are “no-cut.” Not Whitman with the exception of the football team. Swimming, cross country are all cut teams. Want to work on the Tv show, you need to try out. Many positions on the newspaper and yearbook are highly competitive. For the high average kids, it just wears them down because they feel like they don’t have a decent shot at anything. [b]Whitman showcases a big club night but most of these “ clubs” never amount to anything except resume value for the organizer.[/b] All the top kids are always competing with each other and it makes for a pressure cooker environment.[/quote] This was our exact experience and it was such a disappointment.
