10. I hear you loud and clear.

Delayed reply.

Agree in the sense that schools are a microcosm of the surrounding culture, and nobody likes to be called out. I asked to go to a private high school because of the danger to smart kids, and that was the time of "Blackboard Jungle"

It was mostly college prep for senior foreign students, and no foolin around except after classes. There was a park nearby and one of the baseball teams was jovially the Yanqui Imperialistas. It was a blast being exposed to many different cultures in high school, and zero status seeking. Anti conformity in a way, and people got to express themselves. Headmaster was a former Navy Captain and the French teacher was pretty much a communist. Not to ramble, but kids need diversity, and as far as extra help, I think it should be across the board help, so kids don't get "stamped", but I don't run things.

More later, if I can focus on your points. Was super busy today, and sunset might be a good one.
