prominent private schools in the he went on to list St Woodcock coun try Day my sons class second Grade had two outbreaks of lice and a health nurse came daily to Check which one of those prominent american schools would Cardinale compare that the first Grade is overcrowded and the kids must go to full Price was charged for Only half a Day of which one of those prominent american schools would Cardinale compare that to my sons teacher quit in but the tuition i had to pay for the last two months of school when there was no regular i wonder if the students at Choate had similar problems Cardinale May be Lieve which i doubt that the Dod schools compare favourably or is it just the Price that compares favourably with prominent private schools in the but the fact is definitely do if such apathy and a general feeling of helplessness existed in a private american what conscientious Parent would even allow their child to attend much less pay name withheld editors note Allen Dale
