I agree with this. I went to a private high school. I was not a gifted student in any way. I was actually denied by the school but my parents begged the principal so they give me a chance to study there (I learned these details years later). And it was actually a very enjoyable experience. Being smart was not something you hide. The sporty guys were the most popular like many other places, but there was no bullying because of your geekness. I did one year of public high school (which I failed) before I went to private school. And the experience was a total different world. (from Quebec->Canada)
