The losers in all this are the kids whose parents deliberately put them in a challenging rigorous school so they can develop intellectually. These are the very kids being weeded out… To an extent this is part of the war against “privilege”- the only rigorous schools are elite privates and publics in very affluent towns. [/quote]

Aww I feel so bad that you can’t buy your way through life anymore.[/quote]

How terrible of them to spend their earned money on a well rounded education and how awful they send their kids to a rigorous school where god forbid they learn good work ethic and study habits.

Look, Larla had an amazing playdate and got into SFS in kindergarten and mom and dad paid for 13 years there. Surely that means she deserves to go to any college she chooses? [/quote]

+1. Just because you and your three year old outcompeted 80 other people for a spot in GDS’ prek does not mean that your child is entitled to anything. I read a quote a while ago that went something like “Yale realized it could do better than the bottom of third of the class at St. Paul’s.” And it’s true! And while we are on this topic, the craziness around admissions from parents makes kids think they are failures if they can’t get into a very selective college and that’s way more destructive than getting into a less selective college.
