[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think college placement stats are more of a reflection of the selection the school engages in than preparation for applying to college. Some schools even game that by giving a preference to children of ivies. If you have a very bright, talented child they might even do better in the college process coming from a school where they aren't competing with their classmates.

I have a DC at Field where they also use first names. Going in, it was not something I liked and it took some getting used to. But at Field, at least, there are genuine bonds between the faculty and students -- they seem to genuinely enjoy each other's company -- but with a respect for boundaries. I have heard that GDS students are disrespectful of adults. I have no direct connection with GDS but I can tell you that this is not the case at Field. So the first name thing can be good, or not.[/quote]

I have noticed a 'tude in a lovely girl at GDS. thought it was just adolescence but now I'm wondering if it is the environment. [/quote]
