<p>It’s unfortunate that at some schools the program is open to anyone who can afford to pay.
As I said, at my son’s school you had to be recommended to be able to participate. The students who were selected were the honor roll, NHS, student gov types. It was considered an honor and quite prestigious to be selected to apply. From what I could see of the other students from other schools attending, the requirements seemed to be similar. Too bad it wasn’t like that where you came from.</p>
