We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Elitists. Kids get on sports teams based on who their parents are rather than any actual merit. Bullying is a constant issue. Once kids get beat down enough the grades start slipping, and the student advisors actually tell kids to just drop out! Start recommending trade schools and steering kids awa...
