[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The struggling students need the support and encouragement. Don’t be small. [/quote] Exactly, this is what the culture has become - don’t make low performing students feel bad, don’t eclipse them with your achievements, you are making others feel bad if you talk about your accomplishments, keep it to yourself. It feels like socialism. Ironically, I’ve just read in Reddit about low income students who had to work 20 hours/week in a restaurant since twelve, yet excelled academically and got into Ivies schools with full scholarships. [/quote] That’s a leap. You’re insecure so you’re hearing a message no one is sending. If it’s such a great magnet, no one is “celebrating” DC because every kid is doing similar things. And because private schools are way better at stoking parents’ ego because they want money. Public doesn’t have to bother. - private school admin [/quote]
