[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'all sound jealous.[/quote] Jealous of what? I don’t have kids in private. This title popped up in recent topics and caught my eye because I grew up here and I agree. What would I be jealous of? Just stating a fact. GDS was a meh school in the 80s and 90s. You sound defensive. [/quote] hmmm, I was a mid 80s GDS grad and went to an Ivy, as did about 10 of the 80 kids in my class. Where did this idea that it wasn't a top school then come from?[/quote] Just speculating, but perhaps the perception in the eyes of some as to the eliteness of the school grew out of the perception that the student body differed in some ways from that of, for example, St. Albans (i.e., more jewish and not as white). Or, put another way, because there were then and remain now, plenty of anti-semites and racists who refuse to believe that a diverse institution is elite. [/quote]
