A blanket statement was made, so I pointed out the inaccuracy of it. I do believe that there are special teachers out there that would take the time to do the research. I also think that the schools that you deem competitive and complicated may not be on their radar. I think you are being somewhat of a college snob here. They want to go to college, doesn’t have to be Yale. Reps from schools that I never heard of marched in and out of that classroom and the kids were beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to attend. The kids in the school district that really have a good shot at competitive schools have ample resources for success. Yes, I know this is one district. But it’s a pretty good example of an impoverished school district where there is hope.
