[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] During undergrad, I met a lot of kids who went to private schools for k-12. My impression of them was that they didn't come from a "culture of achievement" but rather they came from a "culture of privilege." Most of them lacked perspective and weren't capable of empathy. [/quote] I agree with this. And specifically my experience of prep school kids in college led me to conclude that mainly what a prep school education gives you is the skill to do your school work efficiently so that you can get drunk four nights a week. (Which is undeniably a skill, and furthermore a skill that I (a graduate of public schools) did not have.)[/quote] Your experience is limited. It would be like saying my experience with "black kids" is blah, blah,blah. Ay you know like 4 black kids. Some prep kids are what you describe other are not.[/quote]
