[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my God - I just clicked on one randomly (sidwell) and the mystery of why so many of our 4.6, 1600 Sat kids are not getting into elite schools comes into pretty clear focus. The obvious bias that every kid there is headed to a top five school is actually sickening. Stunning. Seems they waltz right in if the parents had the money and location to attend this schools.  So much for a meritocracy.[/quote]

Haha, are you saying you can take one look at their blond/brown hair and privileged bro vibe and *know* they’re not as smart as nerdy public school kids grinding it out in their high level math/physics/comp sci and engineering classes? Because I was thinking the same.. [/quote]

What is this nonsense?!?

+1 My blonde, blue-eyed athlete best out all the kids in his public k-8.  Always won all of the academic awards, perfect standardized test scores, etc.  Private HS since public in NoVa offered zero challenge.  36 ACT one sitting end of sophomore year, 5 every single AP exam and uw 4.0.  But, yeah, look at him and conclude what you want.  He was in a school district with tons of diversity and we aren’t rich by any means. [/quote]
