[quote=Anonymous]I think I'm "diverse"...or my child is. I really wasn't trying to toot STA's horn. The question was asked, why all the hoopla about STA? There are other great schools. So I thought to myself, one of the things which strikes me as different about STA is that the boys really identify with the school at the end. It's like they went through some important experience together. I don't know if kids from even great schools like Sidwell come out feeling like "Sidwell men and women", or if they feel a unique bond to eachother throughout life. But from what I have heard, the STA boys remain connected. Maybe partly it's being in an exclusive "club", but I think partly it's from the years of being made to feel the school was as important as the individual. As a result, the men of STA go through life together...I'm sure they'll be groomsmen at eachother's weddings and pallbearers at eachother's funerals. But that was just my take.[/quote]
