[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typo above. I meant to say regarding sports, public schools do not recruit (which many privates do), so talented neighborhood kids can still play on the most competitive teams at Arlington’s public high schools. [/quote] This is not necessarily true. I know talented kids who did not make the most competitive teams - specifically, boys/girls soccer, baseball, and volleyball. Additionally, a kid might make the freshman or JV team, but varsity is a different story. If the kid doesn't have the skills by junior year to make varsity, then they will likely be cut. [/quote] That’s right. For the most competitive teams with cuts it’s skills based. My point was that they are all neighborhood kids. At many privates, kids on the Freshman teams have no possibility of ever making it up to the varsity teams which are stacked with recruits. [/quote]
