I don't feel i have to defend my education on a ski forum.... but i will say this. It's not about paying big bucks for a shelter to stay in for 13 years, it's about preparing yourself to make the best of the next step and being able to take college with the best skills you can from your high school education... that is if you're going to college, obviously my parents have the money to send me. It's a college "prep" school... it prepares you for college. That may sound corny and upstagish, but it's the truth.
So pretty much, it's what you make of it.. there will always be rich stupid kids, but there will always be rich smart kids as well. Going to and staying at a private school was probably the best decision my parents/myself made.
So that's that, i'm going to St. Olaf College next year in Northfield, MN to study mechanical engineering. I'm taking the opportunity my parents are giving me.. nothing wrong with that.
