[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And what about the kid who's quiet, who's doing fine academically with minimal supports, but is physically slower than the rest and gets picked on? 
What about the parents who spend $35K on their child's education to have him or her counseled out because they just don't fit a mould? [b]I knew a kid who was counseled out because he didn't like sports. 
[/b]As evidenced by the comments here, everyone will assume a child that's been counseled out has been all of the above--disruptive to a class, a major drain on resources, etc. Clearly there is a stigma associated with being asked to leave.
Most parents of kids who have been counseled out wouldn't have cared at all if their child hadn't been accepted in the first place. But advocating for your child in private school--yeah, what kind of sick, selfish, deluded person would do that?[/quote]

I'm sure it was more than just disliking sports...  Top private schools put their emphasis on academics not sports and they don't care if their students "like" sports or not.[/quote]
