[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't RM have the 18yr old sophomore banging a 14yr old in the hallway this past school year? Sounds lovely. [/quote]

Similar thing happened at the very prestigious private school I taught at. Hormones happen. I'm not sure that says anything about the quality of teaching.[/quote]

Can you tell me what prestigious private school had 18yr old sophomores?  [/quote]

Because the important point in the Richard Montgomery incident is that the 18-year-old was a sophomore? And if the 18-year-old had been a senior, everything would have been just peachy?[/quote]

I think the point that the 18yr old being a sophomore and in classes with freshmen and then having sex with one of them (for 25min in a hallway next to the offices and putting it on twitter) is very important.  As a parent I do not want my child who will be 13 entering as a freshmen going to school with kids that are 20-21yr old seniors. An 8yr age gap in a 4yr school speaks volumes on the students. [b]Wootton does not have students that repeat multiple grades, constantly disrupt the classes, do not think school is a priority and drop out. It isn't a pressure cooker. It is just full of kids who want to do better in sports, arts and academics and it lifts up the whole school to want to do well. The SES and races play a major part in that. [/b]Just look at the test scores, attendance records, discipline records at a glance sheets. It is a shame that it has to be that way but the numbers don't lie. There is enough diversity in Wootton. Many Asian, middle east, Indian, European. They want to excel in school and that is all I care about. [/quote]

While there may be fewer problems at Wootton that doesn't mean that Wootton is devoid of sex, drugs and problem children. It just may be more palatable to you because these problem children are not Latino or African American. Frequently, they come from "good" homes but are fuck ups just the same. I know because my brother and his friends were those kids. During my time at Wootton, girls gave blowjobs to boys at the locker banks, drugs/alcohol were plentiful (including during school) and I can name at least five girls who got pregnant (one at 14).

Wootton may be a "better" school than RM on many accounts but I wouldn't go around passing it off as a school filled exclusively with angels and choir boys. It's not fair to RM and it's not fair to Wootton.[/quote]
