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]

Wait, they don’t misbehave on the field, in their interactions with their coaches or opponents but, because they act like typical boys amongst themselves while playing sports = STA aid filled with loud jocks.  Got it. [/quote]

You really are delusional. Or, you have no idea what goes on at school. The past year in particular was marked by a lot of misbehavior, and you would have had to spend the year under a rock not to be aware of it.  [/quote]

Much of that misbehavior was by Beef and other kids in the stands.  The “jocks” are the kids actually playing.  The Wilson stuff was all about n the kids stealing STA  stuff.  [/quote]

How dumb are you? Beef is the kids who play other sports. They just don’t play that particular one.  Trying to draw some distinction between the two is moronic. [/quote]

The BC is the whole school.  Many, most of the kids depending on the sport and whatever else is going on that day.  But, since it takes two to tango, it would seem every other private school STA plays has some issues.  Are you calling to them out for all of their loud jocks?

Why so as hominem every step.  Furthermore, if the school is filled with loud jocks, pull your boys.  I think you have a problem beyond what you are failing to articulate here.  [/quote]
