[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would be curious to know how many parents of STA graduates think the school (teachers, coaches and facilities) had a more substantial impact on their sons as compared to the high achieving fellow students that matriculated during the same time frame. Fight the urge, if you can, to say that all of those factors combine to make the STA experience. [/quote]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean.  But if you mean what made the STA experience what it was, the two (school and classmates) are so inextricably intertwined.  My son who graduated STA a few years ago, and all of his friends, refer to the brotherhood of STA.  You really can't have that without the necessary ingredients (school and classmates and shared experiences).[/quote]

Inextricably intertwined means you can't have one without the other.  I disagree.  STA the school (teachers, coaches and facilities) mold the younglings into men.  That institution can turn any one into "Product".  That is what is so maddening about private schools - only a select few get to benefit.  Hope that under Trump more kids get tax credits to open up private school doors.[/quote]
