Caroline,
I am not surprised by that at all. That's been said to be happening for as long as I can remember. It's caused a lot of controversy in the news. I think that a lot of schools are only out to keep a good reputation by making "stars" out of their students.
Oh, and this site may be called "New World", but it's all about everyone young & old coming together to share wisdom, experience, ideas, opinions, etc. So you are always welcome here. I value your input so keep it coming!
