[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He would be fine. Not all the boys at STA are loud jocks. If he doesn't like sports he can participate in Voyager, which is a pretty awesome program that does climbing and kayaking. To help get accepted your son should be able to interact with his teachers and the admissions folks in a meaningful way, but he doesn't need to be extremely loud or outgoing.[/quote]

None of the boys I know in my 4 sons’ classes are “loud jocks.”  None.  Not sure that kind is found at STA at all.  [/quote]

I think you must be wrapped in cotton and somewhat delusional. There are loud jocks in every STA class. [/quote]

How many kids do you have there?  I have 4 and have seen none of what you claim.  ZERO.  And my kids are all very involved in sports.  I think you are trolling for some odd reason.  [/quote]

Suffice it to say I have enough to have seen a range of classes through the years. There are loud jocks in every STA class.  There are also clueless parents in every class who think the boys always behave the way they do in front of parents. [/quote]

You don’t present any actual facts about your kids, just generalities.  Then, while you have not seen every class you assert a claim about all classes.  Interesting.  Furthermore, these loud jocks who don’t act up in front of other parents act up in front of you?  And you are not clueless but others are? I think you are a troll who has no real knowledge about anything.  [/quote]

I prefer to be discreet about my kids, but yes my sons are athletic and we have their teammates over a lot after practices and games. How they behave in front of my husband and me vs. how I hear them behave towards each other is quite different. Yes, there are loud jocks at STA. [/quote]

Perhaps.  But, suffice it to say, not in every class and not as many as you first asserted.  I have not seen any.  [/quote]
