[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree that it gets worse. [b]It changes in high school when the FA kids are the smartest and the legacy kids are complete dingbats.[/b] [/quote] My DCs have always been full tuition, one was an excellent student and currently attends H/P/S/or Y. The other is well into high school and has never had a grade lower than an A. My point is that there are intelligent students from every socioeconomic, racial, religious, sexual, and ethnic background. More importantly, though, my children have always admired and valued their peers and classmates not solely for their academic contributions in the classroom, but also for the myriad talents they bring to the school outside of class time -- in the arts, music, writing, acting, athletics, or service. You do not have to be one of the most academically accomplished in a school in order to make deeply important and meaningful contributions to your class, your school, and your community.[/quote]
