<p>It absolutely doesn’t occur to anyone that there are only a handful of high schools in the country that “send 5-6 kids to Harvard every year” - maybe 50 at the absolute most? And that such schools are either elite boarding schools, elite magnets with high admission requirements or very-affluent public schools? I’m sorry, it’s just rather funny on CC when people are coming from high schools that are CLEARLY out of the norm in terms of affluence, and like to think that their experiences are anything like the other 29,950 high schools in this country. </p>
