[quote=Anonymous]OP here... my older child is more quiet and not self-confident or assertive at school. She is a good student, but doesn't have an out-going personality or charisma. Younger child is more of your average kid in terms of group involvement, but still more afraid of the limelight and being singled out or noticed in public. I don't expect that either child will be a great athlete, but both are good students and might be the kind of kids who put effort into band/orchestra. I wonder if in such huge high schools that they will ever get the opportunity to explore/try new things b/c the competition will be so fierce, and relalistically, the extroverts are the ones who get noticed in this world, right? Does the "team" approach (dividing into groups of 125 students who have the same set of teachers) help? Are their any efforts to help students find a niche? Thanks for all the replies.[/quote]
