Prep schools !!! |
|
|
| Gary |
A lot of top people in America went to prep
schools. |
| Frank |
I haven't heard of them. What kind of schools are they ? |
| Gary |
They're very expensive, private boarding schools, which offer a very
high-quality education. |
| Frank |
Why do people spend so much to send their children to them ? |
| Gary |
Well one of the main reasons is that so many of their alumni get
into the top universities like Harvard, Yale and Princeton. |
| Frank |
Oh I see. So they're a kind of cradle for the elite. |

Prep school -
in Britain, a private school (=
a school paid for by parents not the government), for children,
especially boys, between the ages of 7 and 13, who will then usually
go to public school, and in the US, a private school for
children over the age of 11, which prepares them to go to college |
