[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can’t mix K entry vs G9 entry. For example, Grace Church has a lot of kids leaving after G8, so their HS entry is much easier. For K, it’s less than 10% acceptance rate. [/quote]

And this is the problem - dated, inaccurate information. Grace is retaining a lot more kids than it used to. It still admits a lot of kids as it roughly doubles in size. But more kids are staying. Which is why it has become more competitive. Though like at many other schools, the new kids who start in 9 actually tend to often be the smartest as they are accepted increasingly for academic achievement and not play date performance how much the parents suck up.

Again, for the haters, I am in no way, shape or form saying Grace is TT. Not even close. But it makes a more compelling argument for 2T. Largely depends on how you define it.

I am all for critical debate and discussion. The Trevor hater who was getting criticized and deleted was beyond that. There was zero basis in truth and they were universally calling all kids at a school dumb. That is not OK. And it is not true. Anyone who makes blanket statements about a school is not worth listening to. And anyone that hateful should not be here. Good riddance.

And regarding St. Ann's. That situation festered and was encouraged by the school and is symptomatic about bigger problems there. It is hard to ignore. Totally agree that any school can end up with a rogue teacher so be careful commenting on someone else. But it went way beyond that.[/quote]

A lot of TTs have informal HR procedures, lax oversight, and do gooderism that can lead to hiring criminals. It isn’t specific to St Ann’s.

The Trevor poster was a clown. But so was at least one of the schools defenders who cursed and went crazy saying it was TT (his or her posts were taken down).

Broader point, getting into a TT and not a school like Grace or Trevor only means the latter was managing yield and knew a top applicant wouldn’t enroll there. It doesn’t mean they are equivalent to TT. [/quote]
