Ok, in a debate you get to raise your issue and prove your point. Likewise, you get to point out inconsistencies and flaws in thinking. I am just going to point out that liking or not liking horses and their waste product does not make someone a good community member or show if a kid likes/does not like manual labor. It only shows if a kid likes horses and their care. Period.
Having information on a school in any form up to and including bios of trustees can be helpful to all. Again, this is not related in any way to gender parity. Some schools post bios and have little to no gender, income, or other diversity. And some school post no bios and have all of the diversity one would ever see.
Kids select schools for a whole variety of reasons which are meaningful to them and to their parents.
We can’t criticize other people’s choices. My kids would never apply to Thacher for a couple of reasons: they don’t want to be in CA, they don’t want such a small school and they don’t want to spend time on horses. But they love camping, the outdoor and have done some riding ( which they like). One even did an international camping/hiking trip recently. Personal choices.
I think criticizing people who want different things is a bit narrow minded. There are lots of great choices for lots of great kids.
