[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are getting recruited for 9th grade based on their sports abilities. It infuriates me. They should be getting in based on their academic record or personal qualities, period. [/quote]

Why? And what are the personal qualities you think are worthy?[/quote]

Like curious, kind, eager to learn and help others? Not just running super fast. [/quote]

Tell me you are applying to K without telling me you’re applying to K. [/quote]

lol, exactly. As if a kid that is a good athlete can't be any of those things.

I went to a top 15 school and that had a good D3 sports program. Many of the kids wouldn't have gotten into the school but for athletics. Want to know what most of those kids are now - Doctors, Lawyers, CEO of a top 50 company. Some donate big dollars back to the school. That's why schools do this.[/quote]

lawyers, CEOs, doctors... that says it all.  Lawyers do not need much brain.
