High School versus Performing Arts High School

Same here for our PA school in So Cal. There are always people who feel that they are better than others. I am not sure that it matters whether it is a PA school or not.

I have seen kids from public high schools that have HUGE egos and attitudes and are very disappointed when they are not prepared for the competition.

The students at my son’s PA school are drilled about appearance, attititude, ego. Now, with that said, they are also told to not be shy on their resume to list everything that would mean something to the auditioner.

Sometimes they are trying so hard to not look elitest that they “dummy up” and end up not showing their true background and talent. I think that confidence is good, but arrogance can be detrimental.

I wouldn’t be too quick though to assume that there aren’t arrogant people everywhere or that students from PA high schools are more than not arrogant.
