[quote=Anonymous]Money is a huge factor and helps the private school kids a lot. The big thing these days at our private school is for private coaching for SAT or ACT for 3-6 months and then take the test up to 4 times if you are not happy with the score. 4 times has become common place. That is $$. Our private school counselors help with essay writing, interview prep, just about everything. Teachers realize that part of their job is to write glowing recommendations for students. I love all this about our private but I will be honest and admit that it is not a level playing field. Public school kids, especially middle and low income kids, have a tough uphill climb to compete at the same level. That is why I am totally fine with affirmative action and first gen. advantages. The growing divide between the rich and the poor makes me very uncomfortable. I don't think it is a healthy environment from anyone's perspective. [/quote]
