If you looked at the class breakdown and not the race breakdown , it would give you a lot more reason why they do so well.

But of course on the OT, race is an important variable...somehow.

Their "minorities" are the kind that are only counted when it is convenient. i.e not white or black


Except there's two black kids for every Asian enrolled at Franklin.

You seem upset. Is there something you'd like to talk about?

Sorta, but not really. Ben Frank is better academically and has a full athletic program. They are more like a traditional public school than BRH is.

I'm not the one who is offended by events that have yet to occur.

Must suck to go through life with that kind of victim complex/stupidity.

It's deemed racist to only accept the best candidates and be ultra competitive for their student body. I'm honestly surprised someone hasn't tried to get Franklin taken down.

You have to test in correct?



What an interesting concept. Getting in based on merit, and not daddy writing a check.


How many private schools do that?

As someone who graduated from there, want to know why?

1. they test in, weed out the ones that actually can't cut it (likely at least)
2. they fail students and kick them out...yes you can actually fail and get kicked out.
3. the students are actually bright kids who care, regardless of race
4. the whole poor thing doesn't work either, my family was poor and I still busted my tail. Its good parenting that encouraged me to work hard to not have to struggle-bus like them (immigrants)
5. here's a shocker for most of you, even black kids were top 10. One girl of which went to MIT. And before the whole "she's black", she scored over 32 ACT and 2290 on SAT...meaning her race meant jack shite into her getting in

It helped a little with a 32 and MIT.

But she earned it. Work habits count just as well.

ETA: friend of mine is probably the smartest guy I know-book wise...very little street smarts or common sense- and he scored 36 and high 1500's.

MIT threw his application in the trash.

You seem very offended. What happened that made you feel this way? Were you picked last in smear the queer at 4th grade fun day?

If your check clears in BR...your kid can get a "good" education.

(Not really. Those kids come out pretty ducking retarded)
