[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I had known that despite their reputation for weeding out the rambunctious boys at admissions, or stomping out the rambunctiousness of those who sneak in, it only takes 1 to totally disrupt the class for everyone else.  2 makes it a total nightmare.  We could get the same experience at our public.[/quote]

So, you were hoping for a school full of zombies?[/quote]

Not PP, but agree with post about the one or two wild boys ruining the entire experience for the class.  My view i s that the school does need to take a harder line with those wild ones who "sneak in."  At least in the cases I'm familiar with, however, the wild boy in question is a sibling of someone else in the school (i.e., harder to kick out) and/or comes from a major donor (i.e., impossiblie to kick out).

No, I was not hoping for a school full of zombies.  I was really just hoping my 30K per year would ensure that my DC could learn in an environment without constant daily (hourly?) interruptions so that the teachers could deal with the wild ones.[/quote]
