there is a certain element of truth about prep schools that prospective students don't know about from looking at just brochures and viewbooks. i think it's only fair for future prep school kids to know what actually goes on inside these elite prep schools.


and so to all current prep school students:

what recent controversies are making the headlines and topics of conversation at your schools? any recent DC (disciplinary committee) statements? any injustice made on the part of the administration or the students?

you don't have to say what school you go to

Read "The Casualties of Privilege," by Louis Crosier. It's old, but lots of the scandals still apply

Gian, prep schools certainly have their problems like any other institutions. And who knows, maybe Milton has defects. But do you really want to take on a few hundred years of general exellence because of a bad year one kid had at one school? Why are you so bitter? What went so wrong? It will help you to really figure it out.
