[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like OP misread the article. Plus, it's Hanna Rosin, who is not high up on my list of most reliable narrators as an author. [/quote]

ooh, when truth hurts, definitely take a potshot at the writer.  your evidence for her unreliability would be???  i've read extensively about what's happening at those high schools in Silicon Valley and can find nothing wrong with her narrative. [/quote]

I grew up there. I didn't go to Gunn, but I went to a high school that's close to Gunn. I have several friends who went to Gunn. My mom still works at a different high school that's also not far from Gunn, has worked there for more than 20 years, and regularly interacts with their administration and staff. So, yes, I'm going to take my extensive personal experience over your "I've read some articles."

Haven't you ever read anything by Hanna Rosin? Why do accept what she writes as gospel truth? It should be obvious to anybody who reads more than a few things that she's written that she's great at putting together a narrative, just not an overly accurate one.

Why so defensive? Does this my post mess with a rigid narrative you want to tell yourself? [/quote]
