matt i disagree. you say that 'High school is to prepare students for college'. thats wrong. prep school is to prepare students for college. high school is, as you say, to learn the basics. to get a foundation to either continue to college or to enter the work force.
on the other hand i do see what youre saying. maybe robby's school would be more appropriately be a vocational school

Though I see what youre saying about prep school, it really depends on who you ask to get an answer about whether HS prepares you for college. Ask anyone affiliated with state education, and every public school in the state is prepping their students for college...and their proof is the high college entrance percentage rates that most schools have.

Though I do live in Watertown, and thus I know what youre talking about when you talk about prep schools (ever heard of Taft School? Im a 5 min walk from it).

Though I agree with you that Robby's school would be more fitting as a vocational school...but high school is all in how you apply yourself. I know Watertown HS as well As Taft students students going to both Georgetown University and UCONN-Waterbury Regional Campus.

Note to Robby: you bring up another interesting question: how would two teams in the same school react to eachother?
