[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As does the application process for private schools. Any thoughts on how to improve the process at your school?[/quote]

Projects where they can present original Work highlighting their passions developed while at School..
It could be any subject and medium that allows them to express their creative intellect, ideas, innovation, values and personhood. [/quote]

Except that such projects often measure the wealth of the family more than the intellect, ideas, innovation, values and personhood of the child.  [/quote]

I disagree. Wealth is more likely to quash creative innovative thinking  -  you can’t buy originality.[/quote]

Not originality, but it can buy musical instrument instruction to upload that video of a recital, or robotics/coding classes to demonstrate that drone the darling MS-er built, or tennis lessons to showcase Larla/o’s wining the age group Cup at the Country Club, or AOPS enrichment for math Olympiad.  You think kids on FA can afford these things? [/quote]
