Reply to comment by madhatmatt2 in Diocese of Worcester: Credible Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minor by Priest by MassInsider

YMMV. I got a very good education, both bookwise - good - and in the ways of people - bad. The school has one standard for the favored kids and another for the other kids. It has always been this way and continues to this day. And there are several schools with equal academic rigor that don't have the poisonous SJ culture.

Holy shit, SO true. This may just be me, but I always found it toxic as hell how they frequently awarded and lifted up a small handful of kids who excelled.

Like, my class was hundreds but always had the same couple dozen kids getting stupid amounts of attention. For lack of better word, it felt extremely neglectful of the rest of us.

Kind of a decent life lesson. People will treat you better if they like you.

People will treat you better if your parents are wealthy donors.

Man, I remember some sports teams in my years had captains that weren't even damn starters. Guess how many had millionaire families? ALL of them.
