The greater Boston are has become pretty populated with professionals who have kids and then are often looking to private schools to educate their kids. schools like Xavierian and BC high weren’t particularly difficult to get into in the 90s but it’s harder now. I don’t even know what it would be like trying to get your kid into a school like Milton academy or BBN unless your kid is highly intelligent. money isnt even an issue for many of these folks these days. They shrug their shoulders at 60k a year for high school.

This is getting off topic but I would think these days xaverian isn’t taking in slouches. The kids who don’t get into st sebs or Roxbury Latin look to schools like xaverian or BC high. And it’s typically the parents making the decision. Not them.

In other words, "I don't know jack about the school so I'm going to rattle on about my preconceived stereotypes of Catholic boys' schools."

Someone I know was thinking of sending his boys to Xaverian because he didn't want them exposed to critical race theory in the public schools. I wonder how he feels now.

I don't think Xaverian is the most woke of schools in the area at all but it's more woke than it's been in the past especially if they are even talking about black history month and making food for it.

I just came across these articles:

good grief on that one ^^

I kind of feel bad for the school for how this backfired.

this one too:

I wonder if the cafeteria worker is in trouble?
