I call BS.
And thank god for the poster on page quadrillion who finally said that they want the kid to go to STA because it's elitist and choosy. They said what EVERY STA parent is thinking but for some reason is to much of a coward to say.
If STA were free would you still want to send your kid there? With all the rabble? I doubt it. Why not just speak the truth as to how you really feel?
Oh, because you must realize that it's shameful.
And yet you cling to your shameful aspirations.
God I'm glad I don't have kids!

I'm sure it does, in the sense that it provides an opportunity for the administration to know your child. As to how much, I have no idea. But you are always better off if the school can actually spend time with your child (that goes for every school admission).
