[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The narrative that private school kids are coddled is ridiculous.[/quote] My neighbor has a private school kid. That kid has had more tutors for sports and academics than anyone I know. He is on a travel team and gets trained outside of it 2-3x a week. They hired someone to help him with 9-grade admissions. They've poured thousands in him outside of school costs to get him where he is. That is coddling. [/quote] This. I can believe that in many private schools, the instruction and expectations are rigorous. But the amount of hand-holding is immense (especially if something goes wrong.) I know of two families whose boys were indeed coddled extensively to get them to graduate and into college. [/quote]
