| I don't think it's weird. A school with a repressive atmosphere where the students are afraid of the teachers or administration is going to produce a lot of people with limited social skills. Some will still be ok and some will be ok when they get away. But a lot will not be poised at graduation. |
| I know some very poised Boy Scouts from public schools. DS wasn't interested and we were a little squeamish about how they treated gays. But DS' Boy Scout friends have tons of poise. |
Nah. Your own posts, like the one right above, are sufficient evidence for establishing feral flakiness. |
| A person who says Nah cannot judge poise. |
| Madeira girls have a lot of poise. They have a work program which provides internships for the girls every year of high school, and senior year they all intern on the Hill. They are quite sophisticated by graduation. |
| There is a lot of " valley girl" speak at NCS. Even among the seniors. |
| Do debate teams teach poise? Which schools have competitive debate teams? |

| The most poised kids I've ever encountered went to local parochial schools K-12. Paul VI for high school, not sure about lower grades. |
Kill the messenger? |
Showing the messenger the door to her cave. |
| Trolls menace. This person is supplying information. Verifiable information. |
| A good Montessori school. |
| Poise is boring and ends up in a suicide attempt. |
Sock puppet. Readers should know that. Another thread was locked just last week for this very reason. |
