[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And also, I agree with PP about math being the easiest program to implement whereas, the humanities, especially creative writing, being much more difficult.  If STEM is your main concern, then you don't need a private school.  Private schools are more focused on creating a well-rounded educational experience.  Many of the "top" public schools that emphasize STEM produce math wizards who are utterly incapable of the critical thinking required for any type of leadership.  Many are also incapable of putting together a decently written statement.  [/quote]

The awards that many of the kids at the schools you disparage win require that kids be eminently capable of critical thinking and have the ability to put together a decently written statement. My mathy kid received no support for his interest in higher level math at his private school, but lots for his interest n humanities. Don't kid yourself. THe private school humanities vs. public magnet math and science trade off is real.[/quote]
