(Not saying that PG kids don't do other stuff - I certainly know some who are involved in tons of stuff, and average kids who do nothing outside of school). I truly think that there are MG kids that can benefit from an "elite" college education.


As a MG person that got excellent college education that helped me contribute to society in a positive way, I 100% Agree. I was just thinking about how to write the same thought without ruffling feathers, and you did it! Thanks!
