[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... At Landon, sons of the big donors' sons definitely get treated differently -- they're placed on sports teams where more talented players get cut, for one thing, and they seem to get awards with amazing frequency. However, I believe that other schools, including GDS and Sidwell, also do this in one form or another. ...[/quote] Is it really so? The kids in top private schools get treated differently just because who their parents are or how much money they put forward? I find this hard to accept on ethical grounds. More importantly, I find it wrong and dangerous from the perspective of the child's healthy development (both for the more privileged and for the less privileged child). For me, regardless of who I am and how much money I make, it is important that my kid will learn to earn his successes in life through his own effort. Is this too much to expect from good private schools? [/quote]
