Sorry for my rambling post at 14:03.

So the reason for the Hamlet quote. I alway though it referred to a person who argues against or disagrees so much with something that they lose credibility. I don't know you so I am not sure why you are so against this. Your statement that recruiting leaves you cold may be that you just hate recruiting of all kinds. It's almost like you hope Bullis fails because of recruiting to prove your point. You are so against it (maybe) that you could not see any good even if there is some.

All schools recruit. They recruit athletes and they recruit kids With high PSATs in hopes they get a NMF. Then they take credit for it, even though their parents have spend thousands on club teams and personal trainers. (or Kumon or whatever)

I the absence of a perfect model schools do the best they can for these athletes.

NCAA rules are more confusing than the tax laws. Thank goodness there are people that know how to navigate that course for these kids.

Some kids would never go to college without these sports scholarships. Girls soccer players in the DMV are going to Ivy league schools at a higher rate than NMF's. (okay I don't really know if that is true but it feels that way, right)

It's frustrating for smart kids that don't run a 4 40.

These kids' successes, though, do not truly affect the ability of my child to succeed. I don't want to help my kid do better by hoping somebody else does worse.

But I am not a Kumon regular chasing the ivy Dream.

I have a brothers who was a quarterback and a brother who is a genius. Guess who got accepted to an Ivy. Guess what, in the end (20 yrs later) it did not really matter. They both hate being a lawyers.  :)
