<p>My son was shocked at how many kids at his Ivy are terrible writers, despite very high SAT scores. One thing my kids got from their lifetime of private schooling is that they are both incredible writers. It has served them both extremely well. At WildChild’s final boarding school, a young man was doing a PG year (to prepare for D1 football and/or basketball). He graduated from an elite day prep school in the Southwest. The boarding school had to do a lot of remedial work with the kid on his writing. That surprised me.</p>
