[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who was it that very accurately said, “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.” In our public, they said the choices made in 9th grade usually set the stage for all of high school. Privates generally can’t come close to the AP and upper level math and science classes (multi variable calc, microbiology). This area is very rich in STEM experts and a lot of them are teaching as second careers in public schools. [/quote] And as you expect at any school with 2000-3000 kids you can *choose* to be friends with many different kinds of people. There's also this saying about cream rising to the top. People will find where they belong. Mayube since privates are smaller and less varied there are fewer choices, but in the end, part of growing up is making choices for yourself. Further, although privates likely don't have large groups of people at the poverty level, they often do have troubled kids like anywhere.[/quote]
