<p>Neato and others…have you read “preparing for power-america’s elite boarding schools” by Cookson and Persell.</p>
<p>A cc member suggested it long ago but I am just now getting to it. It is out of print so a short wait is understandable.</p>
<p>It is from 1985 and gives somewhat a history of bs in America. It even goes as far as to explain the “feeds”. I am finding it very enlightening especially since I didnt attend bs. It is old so somethings have changed, but the fundamental principles are still in tact.</p>
