[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry your childhood was stressful. You never went to the dysfunctional public school my daughter went to, where kids were never allowed to talk to each other,
Even at lunch, and they did endless rote worksheets that were too easy for her and weeks of standardized tests. No one ever read her writing.

But… life is not a pity party. Crying that Dalton and NCS ruined your life is not right. Move forward and find some more self awareness. They may not have been good fits.

I went to both public and private schools and my public school classes in STEM were massively more challenging. Wish I had had more writing instruction.  But I figured it out.

I know someone who is regularly nominated for a Nobel prize and still talks about how the Ivies rejected him. Seriously this is not a good look and silly. He got what he needed at his excellent university. The admissions committee at these places aren’t gods. The world judges you by what you do.  The Ivies aren’t really that great honestly. I teach at one.  There are great things about my university and great things about hundreds of other  schools. Same for high schools.

Good luck to you OP and my hopes this is just a rainy day rant. [/quote]
