Am hearing that Brentwood, prestigious private school in LA, is in chaos after almost zero white seniors got into to UC schools.

and I have found the exact opposite of what say to be true.


I concur. The big rental outfits will just use you as their slave and put you on the “plus 90” payment plan.

That’s just where the school is located. It draws from across greater Los Angeles

I’m thinking the same thing...of all the UC schools, Berkeley, UCLA and probably UCSD are highly desirable, but others not so much. I’d bet there are still plenty of these kids going to Brown, Columbia, Harvard and other top private schools. Most of them can pay full ride.

I went to a top 30 university. It was extremely intense and competitive. Most people studied like 7 hours a day. Overly competitive and not a great atmosphere.

I tutor math, and honors math at decent private schools is extremely difficult. Generally, the regular class or easier honors class is much harder than the honors classes at public schools in fancy neighborhoods. Honors geometry at top 100 prep schools usually involves 14 step proofs in 3D, and I cannot tutor that. The easier classes at private schools that are not the really top ones are not like that. There are lots of kids from wealthy and/or classy parents who are not that bright.

There are also more and more public schools you have to take an exam to get into. These are mostly similar to private schools, but like regular public schools in some ways with bigger classes, ordinary facilities, some bad teachers etc.

There are ordinary private schools and most Catholic schools, which are not that different from public schools, but usually the honors classes are significantly tougher.

The Left has effectivly kowtowed whites for 50+ years.

The verb kowtow is a ritual action a person does to acknowledge another person's higher status; the verb is not used to describe an action that is done to them.

You're welcome!

Which T-Mobile ad are you referring to? I see a lot of white actors in the photos with these links:

I think the bipoc move to take over the humanities will result in a ton of unemployable, brainwashed brats with massive student loans, while whites move into the trades. And maybe some of them will gradually get a little un-woke when they get into the real world. Here’s hoping, anyway.

The only valuable higher degrees now are tech and medical, and Asians have long since out-studied white kids to take over there. I think the bipoc move to take over the humanities will result in a ton of unemployable, brainwashed brats...

Not just the humanities:

I see it on Roku. Don’t know if it’s played on any other media ‘cause that’s about all I watch. It says they are focused on promoting black people and organizations, and paying for educating blacks. (If I want my money to pay for the education of anyone, it would family members and their children.) The ad starts with talking about some guy, Jesse Russell, who (supposedly) was/is hugely involved in, perhaps responsible for, cellular. A bunch of other people.

Certified private tests...SAT/ACT, specific math and science tests, computer languagr certifications... will be accepted and even sought after as substitute starting credentials.

When I interviewed engineers of little or no experience, I said, “Tell me about your thesis or senior project . “ I could tell in a few minutes if the candidate was serious or had just slid through school.

When the rent is $15-20k/mo, $500 to get a garage door back on track is nothing. Perhaps you need to get out where there are more trees? You’ve got to approach the business like Harvey Keitel the fixer.

"The verb kowtow is a ritual action a person does to acknowledge another person's higher status.."
In the army I was traveling with ROK captain in Korea. We went to a town where his parents live. When his father came to the door, the captain fell to his hands and knees and tapped his forehead on the ground until his father came and raised him. When he went down, I thought he had tripped and almost tried to catch, but I didn't.

When I was being hired fresh out of college, the manager asked we put down our SAT scores on our resumes. He hired those with the top scores. We had an excellent team. But HR would have freaked if they knew.

Using them as a basis for hiring or promotion has been deemed an illegal violation of the Civil Rights Act since 1971’s Supreme Court decision

Currently, any test which whites do better than blacks(all of them) is deemed racist.

The acceptances for the University of Virginia. It’s beginning to look like white men need not apply.
