[quote=Anonymous]Going to a private school should not be synonymous with "soft." I think the workload demands on private students both in the classroom and on the athletic fields should instill a work ethic (in most cases) that would yield a less than "soft" graduate. Whether "soft" means someone who doesn't take any BS from anyone under any circumstances is probably more of a question of what "soft" means. I hope that my two sons who went through a private education have developed the good sense and judgment to know that every perceived "injustice" does not require a response just to show that you are tough. Hopefully, the tough and stronger response to walk away from bullying or taunting is what is being picked up in the private schools around here. That said, I have seen plenty of bullying by the private school kids at all levels and multiple schools - so there is no immunity from the kind of bad behavior (maybe not the degree seen on the Dolphins) that Jonathan Martin thinks that private school kids are not equipped to handle.
