OLTWT

“Overgrown Lawn Tractor / Worthless Toy.” Another name for a “CUT” - Compact Utility Tractor.

“An OLTWT is a waste of money. They are too big to be small, and too small to be big.

Phillips Academy

A large and prestigious boarding school in Andover, MA. The school has needs-blind admissions and all are accepted on their own merits, not ability of parents to pay.

The school is huge: five different residential clusters, with five different Disciplinary Committees. In recent years the new Head of School has led a charge towards Political Correctness. So the most popular campus pastime is playing “I’m not privileged.” This is ironic at a school that only accepts one of eight applicants and has nearly a billion dollar endowment.

The school emphasizes that students have to be “Nice.” This is offset by faculty who barely know the kids. It’s the same old “Sink or Swim,” School that it’s been for 250 years, with a new Politically Correct face.

Phillips Academy used to pipeline students to the Ivies: that’s ancient history.
