Oh, do not be so naive as to think that private school parents are all gems. They can be just as cut throat and egocentric as their plaid wearing kids.

Hill has its problems. What it needs are parents to hang tough and make the adminisration there do better. That school was great only a few years ago. It can be again, but the community has to beat feet inside its walls on a regular basis.

Its TAG program that feeds into Bryan Adams' AP program is fairly good. Again, all school things must be valued by parents to do any good for kids.
