[quote=Anonymous]Of course, bad shit happens everywhere but I have just found among TT families, as someone who went to a BIG Ivy, but isn’t from NYC, there is a sort of third rail about these places where you just aren’t allowed to talk about how they function or if they academics are any good. Part of why I left one was because I thought the academics were getting really watered down and weak after a change in direction in the school and the teachers were bad. I didn’t think the lower and middle school was prepping the girls for high, but if I said that people gasped like I’d just said the Pope wasn’t the actual mouthpiece of God but a political leader. Turned out everyone was using outside tutoring rather than complain that the 70, 000 school wasn’t hiring good teachers and was following every stupid trend in education. Part of why I left was because I found the other parents too willing to put up with anything the school decided to do. I can see how people who do abuse children end up in these places for so long. No one questions anything, and people will put up with things they really shouldn’t. I didn’t want to teach my daughter to be that subservient. [/quote]
