[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the PPs about the bullying of Prep-- first, you are completely misinformed about your classification of "rich kids" at Prep.  It's one of the most diverse communities of any of the schools in the area due to their residential boarding program that has students from all over the world.  One of the notable things about Prep is their hospitality to other religions and other cultures.  MANY of the atheletes are in arts and music programs as well and that is because it is encouraged by the school.  The school wants the students to participate in multiple activities, NOT just athletics as PP states.  Transitioning to a high school is always difficult and it typically takes a year for kids to feel like they fit in, regardless of their background and upbringing.  Stating Prep is a "mean girls version of a boys school" is an unfair accusation and one that is COMPLETELY untrue.  Over 100 of their students VOLUNTEER every summer and travel to New Orleans to rebuild communities and have since Katrina.   My son attends this school and two have graduated from Prep.  This is a great school and your accusations are insulting.[/quote]

The idea that GP is one of the most diverse schools in the area is simply silly.  GP may be a great school.  But, for one who grew up in the area, GP was one of the last to integrate, etc.  There are many stories of all white GP sports teams playing mixed teams at other schools.   GP's location in the middle of MC no doubt makes it difficult to recruit from a broader geographical area.  But the insular suburban Irish Catholic culture does not help.  [/quote]
