I wasn't underprivileged but I did go to a terrible evangelical high school that had no honors or AP classes (AP bio at a place teaching creationism would've been something else...) and I think I only got in to a decent college on the strength of my SAT and ACT scores. My grades were OK (except in bio, where I refused to acknowledge young Earth creationism) but not amazing.

- smcg 5mo agoIt's very common in US private schools.
- tclancy 5mo agoUh, it's been a while since I've been inside one, but I would guess it's very common in a certain strain of US private schools, not as a rule.
- cm2012 5mo agoNo it is not lol. Incredibly rare
- nyeah 5mo agoI think this depends a lot on how you select the set of private schools you're looking at.

- CalRobert 5mo agoThe funny thing is the Adventists seem to produce good hospitals but are still creationists. I guess it’s not a big deal how we got here if you just want to do medicine.
- econ 5mo agoWho gets to set the curriculum is a much bigger deal than given credit for. So many teachers complaining about the shit they have to teach. I remember one who didn't necessarily disagree but wondered why Al Gore should be the one to decide what goes into the [mandatory] documentary (in the Netherlands)
