[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These (and many, many others including public schools in this region) are ALL excellent schools. Stop the hyper-competitive madness. For inspiration, read the schools' mission statements. Then, read this in today's Post: "It’s a dismal learning trajectory: The point of high school is to get into the college that rejects the highest percentage of its applicants; the point of college is to gain access to employers or graduate programs that turn away the greatest number of qualified candidates; the point of life is to have more of the stuff that other people are unable to acquire. What a sorry, soul-killing lesson this is: to value things only to the extent that other people are deprived of them." http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/not-getting-into-harvard-or-stanford-will-take-you-farther-than-getting-in/2015/04/08/1151870c-b6cc-11e4-9423-f3d0a1ec335c_story.html[/quote] Afraid of competition much?[/quote]
