[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People do what TT schools say because they will play dirty, and if you are there long enough, you learn the rules you had no idea applying. Rich, high value donors children go to a different school than yours at a lot of these places and do not have to obey the rules. You wonder why a kid is never in trouble, and then your kid tells you that they can’t get into trouble because of how much money their Dad gave to the annual fund or because their parent is on the board. HYP know these schools produce great students and rich ones and games accordingly.
Outside NYC, boards don’t typically have parents on them because the risk of corruption is so high. Whatever you think of the Brearley mom, I get her heart being broken over finding out Brearley was corrupt. It is very upsetting to realize your child isn’t being treated the same as the others and willing to fudge things for the bottom line. Some places are better than others. Get on a whisper network, most of the time people will just shrug, of course these places are like that. Only thing people do on these anonymous forums is say the quiet part out loud to the greater public. That’s why the other parents go after them. They are playing the game, too and don’t want the spell of the place’s reputation to be broken. They are very vicious to parents willing to talk about it.[/quote]

The boarding schools have plenty of parents on boards, ditto suburban day schools. Even publics have outsize parental involvement. Dirty play and favoritism can be found at any school. What people often dislike about TTs is that they are reminded they aren’t the richest or best looking or aren’t at the top of some other metric. In Manhattan you are dealing with the most ambitious, competitive, and accomplished people in the world and it is unrealistic to think normal successful people can compete at that level.  [/quote]
