I have seen MANY all girls come through here through the years and Holy Child students are consistently like this. I can’t honestly say this about students from other all girls schools.

So HC girls are hard working, thoughtful, AND beautiful. No wonder the NCS Moms are so jealous and snarky.

Lol—I don’t think most NCS Moms have even heard of HC. I’m also quite certain the two applicant pools don’t overlap.

I am a different poster but I would agree. I had not heard about Holy Child until seeing this thread. I am sure it is a nice school but definitely not known to many in DC.

HC boosters make their school sound like a finishing school. Gross. And NCS posters, you are better than this.

Oh come on do you really think NCS parents are posting any of this? I highly doubt the HC booster is an adult either. Pretty obvious the teens have found this thread.

My daughter is at NCS and has nothing negative to say about HC, Holton or really any other school. They don't view other schools as competition. In fact they are friends with many girls from a variety of schools. So silly for anyone to try to pit them against each other. There is room for all to be happy and do well at their individual schools.

I never said parents (I said boosters and posters) though sadly, I believe there are parents posting on both sides. Regardless, it is even more depressing if girls being educated at an all girls’ school (HC) have learned this casual misogyny that a woman should be valued and judged for her looks.

There you go again.

I'm a NP, and my kids don't go to a single sex school, nor do they go to a religious school, but it is objectively true that NCS is more competitive than HC by a mile. Claiming NCS moms would be jealous of HC kids/moms is a little absurd.

still going!

The girls at NCS aren't as aesthetically charismatic per the local private school boys. Also you're comparing a school in the suburbs with a city school - "apples to oranges."

The girls at HC are actually very sweet.

could we get rid of the word "misogyny" the way that we got rid of "bossy" a few years ago? whenever a woman uses that word she diminishes herself.

welcome to the real world, where men and women, especially women, are judged in part on how they look. as a grown man, I will refrain from comparing the looks of HS girls, but I am happy to comment on the Moms - there are plenty of hotties at both HC and NCS!

How creepy that a parent is discussing such things with her sons and getting into the business of her son. Gross. Creep alert.

it doesn't strike me as creepy or unusual that a Mom would know what girls her son and his friends find attractive. all you have to do is drive car pool and pretend like you are focused on the road and not really listening.

No. I won’t stop calling you out for judging women on their looks and extolling beauty as some sort of virtue. But I’d love to hear more about how you think that is okay and how I’m diminishing myself. You are gross and a misogynist.

Could you please point me to the dcum threads where we talk about the all boys schools that have the best looking boys and the boys that all the girls want to date? Oh, there aren’t any? That’s really strange… Please read the following article, poster. It perfectly describes you:

“Internalized misogyny is when women subconsciously project sexist ideas {judging women’s values by their looks} onto other women and even onto themselves.”

Snobby about what? Attending a 4th tier school with mediocre college admissions results?

There admissions are pretty good actually:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CtACZ0FMJPN/

You and I must have a different definition of “pretty good.” The highest ranked schools I saw were the University of Michigan, UVA and Georgetown (about 1 admit per school). I didn’t see a single Ivy, or even a top 20 university.

That’s pretty mediocre in my world.

I'd be more than happy if my kid got into one of those schools. Well, at least they are better looking than you.

Lol—you sound silly. I graduated from one of the aforementioned schools.

Of course, UofM, UVA, and Georgetown are great universities. However, at least a handful of Holy Child’s students should be heading to higher ranked universities on an annual basis—if you’re going to be snobby.

There are other things to be snobby about...namely your good looks and family wealth. These girls don't need to go to top schools to be successful. That's for the strivers of the world.

So what happens when a Holy Child student crosses paths with her superior? That would be an equally good looking and wealthy Sidwell, GDS, NCS, Holton (1st tier), Stoneridge, Visitation, Maret (2nd tier), or Bullis (3rd tier) student?

Answer: She should drop the pretense or risk getting her feelings hurt.

Their life trajectories are going to be entirely different. My NCS daughter and friends will end up being Big law associates and medical residents. They'll work really hard and some will end up being very successful and wealthy. The Holy Child girls will end up marrying commercial real estate or finance guys and end up being very wealthy. There is very little cross over between the two worlds (a tiny handful of NCS girls who are in this Holy Child world and of course they are the popular NCS girls). There are some STA or Sidwell boys who want the NCS girl but many (most?) want the HC girl. Can you blame them?--they are beautiful, fun, etc. For what it's worth, I have the intellectual NCS type so I am not glorifying this phenomenon, just reporting on it.

Sorry to hear about your NCS daughter’s plight. My beautiful AND brilliant daughter attends one of the Tier 1 schools listed above, and she has no shortage of male attention and dates.

I would feel bad for any Holy Child student who tried to act snobby around her—lol.

OMG. Is this how people talk about their daughters? Like they are prized cattle?
