    Don’t think anyone was suggesting that all private school students will go to elite colleges or public school kids are excluded from them. Try to follow along, if your confused ask your son to explain it to you.

      So? I know an ISL kid who got a full ride to UMASS honors. Not paying a dime and in one of the best programs in the country for his field of study. What are you paying for Darmouth?

        Probably less than an ISL HS diploma!

          4yrs at Dartmouth = < 1 yr of ISL

            Complete and utter BS. My oldest daughter is Dartmouth and ISL grad. ISL only gives need based money. Dartmouth essentially only gives need based money. We had a minor academic scholarship. Zero, as in "zero" athletic $s. Please. I have a younger daughter in ISL now. Nothing has changed.

              My son at Dartmouth doesn’t play a sport. His endowed scholarship was obviously not minor.

                Your daughters obviously weren’t good enough to get “financial aid” for sports in the ISL.

                  Ok, we are way off base here. Can we bring the conversation back to what a douche nozzle Scales is?

                    Press conference Monday morning to announce a $35M training facility no one cares about because the 1st team is in the toilet and the Academy operates on a shoestring budget.

                      Lipstick on a pig. I’d rather have a 4th practice a week and better coaches.

                        Don’t forget 3 Revs practices are better for development than 4. The best number would be 2.

                          Too little too late. New facilities mean nothing if you still have the clowns in charge.

                            Actually 0 is best. Instead of long drives to useless practices, have him do something more relevant to his fast approaching adult life; study!

                              He spends 30 hrs a week at school, and 4.5 hrs at practice. You think he should study more?

                                Are you including drive time? Plus I agree, homework levels IMO are ridiculous, but if you are at an ISL, they push for 2.5 hours of homework/night. Crazy to me, but all part of the kid arms race. Sorta like DAP practices and travel.
