[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are all schools where a good, bright but not Big 3 kid could do well. So don’t criticize [/quote] I'm the one who said it was a weird list. I'm not saying they are weird schools. They're all great schools, but they're schools for very different kids. The only thing they have in common is that they aren't pressure cookers. A kid who is going to want a large, structured, all boys, athletic powerhouse like DeMatha, is going to be different from the kid who wants the small, informal, coed, arts focused environment at Burke. The idea that someone would look at those two schools and decide solely based on Catholic/secular is weird. That doesn't mean that either school by itself is weird. They are wonderful places. There are Catholic/secular pairings where the decision could come down to religion. Do I want Landon or Prep? Do I want Bullis or SJC? Do I want Holton or Stone Ridge? But DeMatha vs Burke isn't one of those choices. [/quote]
