[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help me understand "13th grade" Just saw this recently in one of the threads. Why is it seen as a bad thing here at DCUM? (I grew up overseas where this isn't a bad thing.. in fact, it was seen as a good thing) [/quote] It's a cultural thing in the US, especially in the upper middle classes I think. Part of the idea of going away to college is leaving your home town, and living elsewhere, especially at a private school in New England, more like going to boarding school. You go away, meet students of high intellectual caliber, and get away from the "locals".[/quote]
