[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing wrong with describing your kid as quirky. You don't have to label them or use that word with them or anyone else. You just recognize that they are not as conventional as other girls. I have a DD like that. I love that she is quirky. She is artistic, passionate about interests and hates girl drama. I won't lie, it has been rough for her, and we picked the wrong school. In retrospect I would have sought out a bigger school where she was more likely to find other unconventional girls. I thought smaller would be better for her. I was very wrong. Sometimes I think she would have been better off at a public school. [/quote]

What on earth is “unconventional” about being artistic or not liking girl drama?

Larger schools would have more friends and interests to offer obviously.

But the big pro about  these 80-140 students per grade private schools versus a much larger public school is you don’t have to pick. You don’t have to pick a label. Due to the size, offerings and no cuts, you can be a sporty + artistic + musical + academically minded girl.

You don’t have to pick or go narrow. K-12 should be about trying things out and exploring. Plus building a free main interests. [/quote]
