Mike Tyson-style? I've heard about their elbows. Didn't realize you also have to look out for their teeth.

It happened on the soccer field a few years ago. NCS basically took out a star Sidwell player. It was like a preppy Mob hit.

Sorry, I just spit my drink out. A preppy mob hit. LOL. I can totally see this although coming from a completely different school, we hate Flint Hill athletics. They are as dirty as it gets. Win at all costs. I have seen the mob hits there.

Yes

She was a consulting psychologist there and at other local area privates including Maret and GDS. Also that book is 15 years old. The students who were there at the time are all 27-28 years old. Isn't it possible that the school has changed? They have had 2 new heads of upper school (now going on 3), 3 middle school director and 2 lower school directors. The head of school is also different.

what is the point here? Is someone saying there is a "mean girls" issue? Not sure why this was brought up.

I think someone just wants to denigrate hundreds of teenage girls she has never met and a school she has probably never visited on an anonymous forum.
