Sorry that your kid was rejected.[/quote]

1.  We never even thought of that school, let alone applied.

2.  Everyone gets into that school

3.  Have you seen the facilities?  LOL.[/quote]

Interesting that someone who never even thought of that schools knows so well what the facilities look like. And yes, I have seen them and they compared well to other privates in the area, though their playground in the lower school could certainly be nicer.  Their upper campus is beautiful. 
It is outright wrong that everyone gets in. I know several full pay families, including with siblings attending, whose kids were rejected. One of those families had both their twins accepted to Beauvoir. The school looks for fit and the reality is that not every kid/family can handle the language immersion aspect.[/quote]

Our son had to unfortunately play on their turf field.  Needless to say his team pummeled WIS.[/quote]

And this is relevant to his life in the long run, how?  Is he going to play a sport in college? Is he going to be a professional athlete?  Mama may think so, but the odds are overwhelmingly against either of those taking place -- which makes your post even more inane. Why is your kid in school in the first place?

But ten years from now when he is working for a globally educated, multi-lingual WIS grad, he can always remind him of how his team "pummeled" WIS and that it was so unfortunate that he once had to play on their turf field.[/quote]

Ah, yes.  The "your kid will work for my kid" retort.  Based on academic reputation, more likely the WIS kid is going to be the other kid's Uber driver.[/quote]
