[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate how stupid people are. People love to say you are so lucky to grow up in X place because the schools are good and have so many opportunities. Like hello, do you not understand that opportunities in those schools aren’t open for all students?

Sure, some high schools have more sports like lacrosse or wrestling, but what good does that do if you still need to play since 5 to make the JV team? Most students can’t access those opportunities. Likewise, extracurricular like robotics and band are way more selective at competitive schools.

Students at poorer and less competitive schools literally have more opportunities because things like sports or robotics take anyone [/quote]

If those schools can even field sports teams or support robotics...

Anyway, the whole "big fish in a smaller pond" is a familiar trope here.  You're not saying anything new, and it's not going to change anyone's mind even if you repeat it for the 1000th time.  We can look at how the "stupid people" behave, and those people - who coincidentally tend to have larger housing budgets - consistently favor schools with larger, stronger, peer groups.  [/quote]
