One needs to be a different kind of student to accept 2 1/2 - 3 hours of homework every night. Some people thrive on it and like a challenge.

The insecurity of chaminade parents is sad, spend so much time telling everyone how great it is. great organizations stand on their own, don't need constant bragging to reinforce their standing. Nobody is that impressed with chaminade except the parents that send their kids there, which isn't difficult to do - above average to get in and not expensive. Can't hold a candle to real private schools.

Can't hold a candle to real private schools. I went to a real private school and trust me- academics are a lot harder and valued at Chaminade. Private schools are full of wealthy parents that buy their kids into better schools and out of trouble. My friends would have been better off in a public school or an institution like Chaminade. The one thing that they both have in common- the exclusivity of being on the inside. You only know the real deal if you are part of it and quite frankly, no one on the inside cares what others truly think. If you truly don't give a damn about Chaminade and you feel it's worthless, than why waste time and energy putting it down? The Chaminade families know what they have, the private schools know what they have. Anyone can go to public school and find out what they have- and that's the difference- public is just that- open to all. Are there some great ones? Sure are! I think public school can be great for most. That said, there must be something that makes Chaminade the most competitive school on LI. If it wasn't all that, the numbers would have declined and other schools woukd be pulling the top candidates. As for the cost- who cares that it is less expensive than the elite prep schools? Regis is free, so does that make it less prestigious than others?

I've yet to see an Intel finalist, or for that matter semifinalists come out of there. I've also seem many graduates go to Hofstra. That's not prestigious.

Can somebody show a ranking where Chaminade stands in relation to Regis, Stuyvesant, Exeter and other private schools? When has anyone claimed anything about Chaminade in relation to these three other schools? I certainly don't know anyone who would argue that Chaminade would "beat" any of these schools in a head-to-head comparison, at least not one based on any academic metrics.

Because the annoying Chaminade parents keep posting obnoxious, self promoting and arrogant comments - you all ask for it first of all, you have no idea who is posting what. second of all, there is way more bashing than bragging going on. no need to bash if you are content with your own choices.

Do not assume you are going back and forth with an adult and when you do post, think about if you would want to speak to a kid that way, because there is a good chance that is who you are responding to.

Post Syosset's roster from last year amd list all of the schools the seniors are going to and make sure you include the kids who did not step on the field and compare to Chaminade roster. Then look at the top, lets just use 8 teams in the country and see how many Syosset players are on the rosters compared to Chaminade.
We are just talking lacrosse here

One more comparison. Take the roster from 2 years ago and see if those Syosset kids are still at the schools they went to as freshmen and comapre to Chaminade.
That is an interesting one because I know you won't like what you see

Chaminade cannot compete with the top publics. Do we really need to remind you of the beatings they took last true lax season? Hint? WM Next year will be worse. You better hope you don't meet up with Syosset, will be ugly!

Oh, OK. So now the best Chaminade kids didn't play???? What is this, MLB spring training???? Look, Chaminade is a good school and has a decent lacrosse program but when you start throwing around words like "elite, best, etc" then be prepared for a response. Especially from a best in class academic and lacrosse program like Syosset's. A public school, gasp.......

Eternal damnation! Lol! Seriously, Are you kidding? In the very short time after they all graduate HS and are securely in college, no one cares where you went to high school. I guess except for the Chammy boys and their parents decked out in school colors.
