<p>HAHA. The following is Groton School according to urban dictionary. It’s clearly written by a Groton student with a huge bias, not by me. I would never insult Middlesex. Anyways, read it. It makes me laugh…</p>
<p>“Groton” refers to a number of small towns in the New England area, but more importantly, it’s best known association is with the Groton School of Groton, MA. </p>
<p>Groton School is an elite institution that everyone that currently goes to Andover, Exeter, St. Paul’s, and etc. got rejected from. Its small class size and world-renown teachers afford Grotonians with an unparalleled education, preparing them for the “active work of life,” defined as making billions of dollars, running the US government, or simply being “sick at life.” </p>
<p>Because Groton is an exceptional institution, there are numerous schools that attempt to mimic Groton’s stature. For example, Middlesex, upon seeing the greatness of Groton’s circle, also based their campus around a circular common-green. However, Middlesex’s circle has various paths running across it, making it ugly. </p>
<p>Groton’s rival is St. Mark’s School (SMS), but since SMS was ranked at the very bottom of every list comparing private schools in New England, it’s not really fair to make these two disparate schools rivals. The only thing that keeps these two schools as rivals is the fact that St. Mark’s students are neanderthals and thus good at traditionally brutish sports like football and hockey, but as witnessed by last year’s St. Mark’s/Groton Day, Groton pounded St. Mark’s in the ass, also known as the football gridiron. Either way, whatever athletic ability St. Mark’s School has pales in comparison with Groton’s stellar SAT scores.</p>
<p>Groton has many distinct tradtiions. For example, feeds are provided by faculty members to Groton students as a form of snack or meal, depending on the group size; it is not a synonym for lunch/dinner as Boston Magazine erroneously claims.
Some synonyms for Groton include: sick-nasty, exceptional, one of a kind, etc. </p>
<p>“Dude, did you get into Groton?”</p>
<p>“Nah, I’m too stupid, that’s why I’m here at Middlesex” </p>
<p>“Hey, how many people from our school got into Harvard, Yale, and Princeton?” </p>
<p>“No idea, but probably a lot fewer than Groton…” - A conversation between two Andover students.</p>
