Reply to comment by Idea_On_Fire in Massachusetts teachers, what should I know before becoming a high school teacher in this state? by MojitoSipper

I think they are trying hard. Last year when I was looking at wedding venues the one in Danvers heavily implied we wouldn't be able to afford the place despite the pseudo-budget we asked them to make for our 200 guest wedding putting us well above their above per guest price. We ended up going to Holyoke because the Danvers venue was ultimately too small for the ceremony but also the disrespect we got for our "Hudson people."

That's crazy. Danvers isn't anything fancy IMO. It has the prep, but the actual town isn't obviously monied like Newburyport or Boxford, nevermind a town in the metro west like Weston.

I guess you have to fake it til you make it, huh Danvers?

dredging up that memory I decided to check the Danversport reviews cause I thought maybe this was an isolated incident. A few other reviewers probably had the same person we were stuck with because one had similar complaints just last year and others complained about booking the venue and then being treated only as dollar signs.

por que no los dos? Both are expensive schools. Govs might be a little more fancy but the prep is certainly a school for wealthy young men.

I interviewed to work there, actually, and I didn't get the job. Not sure I would have been the best fit in a place like that.

St Johns is 30k compared to 53k for day at Govenors. Bruh I legit freaked when I saw the tuition at Governors. The tuition is almost a full 70 percent more.

Is St Johns super preppy compared to other catholic school?

From my perspecitve, yeah. Beautiful campus though!

Lots of elite private schools in MA. Weird to think some of the best high schools in the world are just a few towns over.
