[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’ll add that the being able to “succeed in any major” ideal requires time management. I have said this before, but there are certain things that most day & boarding prep schools expect out of ALL their students that public schools do not. Mandatory 3 seasons of sports, mandatory public speaking, table manners, uniforms, showing up on time, no snacking or drinking in class, eating what’s served and learning how interact with adults (especially wealthy/successful/old ones) in the community are just some examples. [/quote] Wealthy people don't work in private schools. You're best hope is that larlo makes friends with wealthy students. But it usually doesn't work out that way.[/quote] Yes, table manners are not emphasized enough at public school and it's shameful. If your child needs Andover to teach them table manners it's too late. You're the parent, Karen, you do that. [/quote]
