[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in Brooklyn and had no idea Poly was impressive. I have a very negative view of the school and the academics there. There’s more to life than exmissions and the lifers who are now adult and the children I know there are not academic, not particularly bright, not community minded at all.[/quote] A lot of reputation and cache starts as unfounded folklore on social media and website like this and just kind of catches on because people “read about it”. So a lot of hidden gems get missed and conversely other schools have overinflated and hyped up expectations [/quote] Sorry to hurt your feelings. I live close to the lower school and know the private scene quite well. If you have a slightly stupid jock or a self-serious future Broadway stah who won’t get to higher level math or an unweighted A in humanities courses, I’m sure its great.[/quote] Sorry but I really wasn’t thinking about you and I wasn’t even referring to any specific school, not even Packer which I can infer you are referring to but it doesn’t matter anyway. So don’t worry about my feelings, just your own lol. Anywho my comment applies to a general swathe of schools. And no two people will have the same impressions of a school. But my point is when someone labels or brands a school a certain way on places like this, that is the only thing the clueless and uninformed can hang their hat on [/quote] It was clearly about poly. It adds value to park slope, idk why that neighbor would attack it. Many high income people would never live there or south Brooklyn without such an esteemed educational option. [/quote] No one moves to south Brooklyn for that nothing school.[/quote] Your tone is childish and not OK. It is not appropriate for any school. Please stop.[/quote] Sounds like the Trevor hater. Bizarre [/quote] I don't know why people get like this, I assume either a) their kid was rejected by the school they're hating on, b) their kid had a bad experience at the school they're hating on, or c) their kid goes to a different school which they feel insecure about and they lash out by dumping on other schools. (and honestly as a member of group 'b' myself I work out my feelings by writing long thoughtful posts encouraging people not to send their kid to that school and explaining why, potshots accomplish nothing)[/quote]
