[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lowell is quite down to earth.

Clearly, there are people with a lot of money. That's true of any private school. And, it is also a lot of people making sacrifices to have their kids there. Lots of financial aid. Lots of public sector parents.[/quote]

Many Lowell parents are really nice. Too nice though; very liberal but institutionally governed. Not nearly tough enough or empowered enough to speak up for a disempowered and unsupported teaching staff. Others are very snobby and will rub it in your face that they are SO enlightened, only to showcase their true colors when they have to compromise the immediate needs of their precious Larlo or Larla (or Larlx) for the greater good. Ultimately, the only thing many of them care about is sheltering their kids from the sometimes uncomfortable characteristics of real life. When we were there, we had to walk on eggshells over eggshells not to say anything or do anything that might offend their cultural hyper-sensitivities, and we consider ourselves to be incredibly liberal. It was like being in a cultish environment. [/quote]
