To the parent who is just so insanely naive, due to complete ignorance, let me clear some things up for you regarding SA HS. "..a mediocre public school with a dress code"..?? While it is so clear you or your child did/do not attend this level of HS, or were there and have now left due to your own actions or inactions, I will lay it out with accuracy - SA has an academic standard which is incredible (breadth of offerings, depth of studies, a failing grade is 75 - this level is a "C" at any other school). Character Ratings must be upheld for successful matriculation and attendance at this school. A 75 year proven college prep curriculum and society, in every way, guiding students with moral character that you are clearly lacking in while identifying a single player by number, a teenager, for your own bored, vile needs. Yes - The Cath HS entrance exams are indeed in place, to make sure that every applicant has the aptitude to succeed in a rigorous academic, disciplined, environment. Or, yes, they will be gone at their own hand. Which happens, as we all have seen. It is not for every student/athlete. Standards must be maintained. Rules followed. And for those successful students, they LOVE their school with a sense of pride that is unparalleled. Student population is large, so there is a large population of athletes. No one is taught to be dirty players by SF... We all know that any of that comes from other environments an athlete is in - family, Club teams, general demeanor. They are however, taught to compete at the highest level - with schedules that are diverse and highly competitive, practices that are mandatory, at all hours of the day and night, never missing one single day - yes, even outside in the weather (only one team can practice indoors at any given time and it is not ideal.). Please do not speak on things on which you have zero knowledge, it is sad to see an adult do so. Be better than that.
