I believe your prejudice toward the privates is showing. The overwhelming number of private schools are associated with religious institutions. Sayre is not. Don't judge the others by Sayre. Sayre, though dripping in money, is much more like the "well to do" publics than it is like other privates.

I do believe that not all private, religious or not, are snobby institutions but to say that the negative behavior is relegated to public schools and non-religious affiliated private schools is also not true. I used to live in Lexington and started going to watch Lexington Catholic boys and girls play because they had the best programs. One night they were playing Tates Creek and the Lex Cath student section continually yelled "you will work for us" and against Bryan Station they yelled "you can't afford us" and "you're on welfare". That is when I started following Henry Clay instead.
