[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say needing to have the student body work on humility, arrogance, and entitlement is a problem. I wish other G parents would see this as well and make a concerted effort to fix this issue. But unfortunately in my experience that awareness from parents is rare, so my hats to you, PP.

You can generally tell if a Gonzaga parent has drank the kool aid if they have the following on their post: “Eagles Fly High”, “God is Purple”, or seem to think AMDG is only for Gonzaga (!) and not the motto of the Jesuits (and therefore used at every Jesuit grade school, high school, and university).[/quote]

NP here. GMAB. I have a kid at Gonzaga as well as other kids at other DMV independent private schools. Your angst is not unique to Gonzaga and basically could describe many current student at most of the DMV privates for being (Landon, St. Albans, NCS, Potomac, SJC, Visi, Holton, SSSAS, Maret, etc). If you're going to single out Gonzaga, which has a much more socio economically and racially diverse student body than other DMV privates, then be specific as to why it's unique to Gonzaga. Because they have school spirit? Because they drink purple kool aid and have school pride? What makes them particularly more arrogant and entitled than their peers at Landon or St. Albans or another all boys school? [/quote]

This is true.  GZ is much more diverse than other privates in terms of race and SES.

I'm pretty racially diverse, imo.

The data I've seen don't bear that out with regard to race. Nor do the optics at public events.

ADW has the numbers somewhere on their site and GZ (surprisingly) was the least diverse. Actually Prep was more diverse which was a big surprise.

And since PP mentioned Landon it’s way more diverse with respect to race, no data on income is published.

Diversity is definitely not the strength. [/quote]

Gonzaga has more income diversity than all of these other schools. Not racial diversity [/quote][/quote]
