About Jared and Frisch-My son graduated from there in 2002, Jared was a senior when my son entered. It is a close community of students (about 125 per grade) so of course my son knew who he was. But just like in any school there are the scholars, the jocks and everything in between. I suspect he was smack in the middle tier. Frisch is an outstanding place to grow, both as a person and as a scholar. The fact that Jared was most likely a middling student is reflected in what his English teacher conveyed to Dan Golden. The thing is that Frisch has scholarship students, but also MANY rich students.Therefore, the teachers were not in awe of his family name and told it like it is. There are several tracks of learning at Frisch with the high honors on top, honors, and then the regular track. Most likely he was in the regular track. The fact that his father bought his place into Harvard should come as no surprise, it is done all the time. It is repulsive, but no less true. Not everyone has to buy their way into top tier schools. My son earned his entrance to MIT(where the really smart kids go & there is NO pay- for- play) the old fashioned way. He had a 1590 out of 1600 on his SAT, took 6 AP's earning top scores, was Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper, The Struggle, Captain of Mock Trial, Captain of Debate, Captain of Academic Decathalon & Captain Of Track, all the while maintaining an A average. You know what, the teachers who taught my son over 7 years ago still remember him as a leader of his class, who said not long after he graduated , "Chaim Danny ran so many things at school, was such a leader, they were not sure anyone could take his place". There are some things that money cannot buy, most of all-respect. Adina Kutnicki
