[quote=Anonymous]wow... [quote=Anonymous] Private high schools have managed to effect an astonishing change in the psychosocial dynamic. It has become taboo to discuss any objective measure of academic performance. In the extreme version of the anti-numbers argument, parents and children are told to choose a school solely on the basis of how the school makes them "feel." Detest the data; trust the glossy brochure, the fancy website, the slick administrator. (Do we act so irrationally when we buy a car or a house?) If we believe that private schools are mere country clubs, that they do nothing to educate our children, that's appropriate. In that case, they're 4-year, $160,000 babysitting services that do nothing for the mind and happen to send "graduates" to fancy colleges afterward. [/quote][/quote]
