[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soft skills are largely innate, not provided by school [/quote] I agree some people are blessed with having pretty natural soft skills and/or their parents have them so they mirror them well. But I disagree you're stuck with the genes you've drawn. I'm another parent that has seen an introverted kid really blossom at TJ becuase she feels more comfortable there than she did at the base school and so volunteers for stuff more and is more engaged in ECs. Band is what she's found that has let her hone soft skills over the past few years - like the iNite and other events, TJ is really big on letting the kids step into leadership roles vs adult volunteers just running stuff together with teachers. Maybe this is the case at other HS too. Either way, it gives kids lots of opportunities to practice soft skills.- That plus the environment is useful, particularly for those introverted kids.
