DO, when I went to HS in Boston, there were a couple of public schools where you had to pass an exam in order to attend. Boston Latin was one, Boston Tech the other. (I went to Tech.) I can't remember if Boston English required one to pass an exam.

Those were the days when the words "quality education" had meaning. I recall reading a Time magazine article back in the early 70's that stated a HS education at one of the schools named above was the equivalent of a college education elsewhere. They didn't play around back then, you either performed or you went to a neighborhood HS.

I agree with this concept as I'm a strong believer of working with your strengths. Although this may seem cruel and uncaring to some, I believe it's just as cruel and uncaring to hold others back for the sake of those who can't keep up.

Wrt the weather, you fellows can have it. It was in the 60's here in SC yesterday. I only travel back to Boston during the summer months, to see my folks. When you fellows were braving the blizzard of 78, I was getting a suntan by the pool. <ggg>
