I understand that this is not a big deal, but if I know JA, they sent a mass email telling everyone to vote! This was the first that I've heard of this survey, so I know Prep didn't ask anyone to vote. We all know that the winner would be the school that has the most people reading the JJ blog. JA hates to lose at anything and is obsessed with trying to keep up with Prep. JA teaches their younger grades to hate Prep. Their former coach was quoted saying that his daughter would "hold her breath when they passed Prep's campus". After Cellular South refused to move the game to JA, they asked for them to provide a jumbotron at a location across the street from JP so they wouldn't give money to Prep by paying admission. JA needs to relax and stop trying to keep up with the Joneses.

those JA people must be really stupid if they thought a jumbotron across the street was going to stop people from paying admission compared to people just staying at home and watching it live on TV from their own lazyboys

sent a mass email and could only muster 92 votes? they couldn't even get that right

Among many, many others, this is a reason why my kids go to St. Andrew's.

As far as I know, no JA emails went out and I'm pretty sure that school doesn't care for me after I posted their 990's earlier this year showing how much the top guys make. I have quite a bit of readership in that area, partly due to my coverage of the Hillview property and other issues in the area.

I thought JA stopped at 6th grade, then most of the kids changed to Prep.

JA would not send out an email for that! Don't know why 7:05 is so bent out of shape!

I just wanted Raymond High School added knowing we would lose. It's just a fun poll, mass e-mails or not.
Keep up the good work.

What planet have you been on for 25years?

The ones whose parents care about their education switch them to St. A's or Prep at the earliest opportunity.

Right. Everybody knows how sorry the "waiting list to get into JA" is in terms of education.

My kids are not in private school, yet. I don't believe in it until they are able to benefit from it in terms of education versus social standing (for others). If I had to put my child in any of the schools here, I'd put them where my niece is...SA. And, my consideration for moving away is a better option than that decision IMO. If you want to play who's school is better, bring it. Mine's been around since the 1700's.

What is your school, Kaptain?

If you want an excellent education WITHOUT status and keeping up with the Jones'- go to St Joe! Prep and JA are for the parent egos anyway!

I flew back from Philly 3 -4 years ago next to a kid who had skipped his entire first year at Wharton because of his AP credits from Madison Central. When I taught at Penn tuition was closing in on $50K a year, so this business major was making a good start by slashing his educational expenses by 25%. I found out SA has similar programs, and students getting an 'A' on an AP class exam can usually get college credit and skip that course as freshman, saving themselves and their parents a few bucks.

YAWN.

We vote for St. Joe because there is so much more to life than BMWs, social status and keeping up with the Joneses. We prefer quality with a good dose of diversity. Every kid is on an equal playing field and has a chance to succeed.

8:03- You So get it!

6:25 You sound like someone who has no plans to send a kid to college, so why are you here? Leave the grownups alone now.
