[quote=Anonymous][quote=Danpeg]NCS mom here and I have to counter much of the misinformation previously posted. My daughter's experience at NCS has been overwhelmingly positive. At drop off she is regularly greeted by the other kids. Students collaborate on work assignments enthusiastically. Replies to FB posts are good natured and texts are light hearted. It's my daughter's impression that the mean girl is the one to be quickly ostracized. The girls would never accept abuse because they have too much empathy for the demands they all face. The girls value and admire each other for the many different qualities each girl brings to the community.
Having previously attended a school with uniforms (prison outfits)I can assure you these girls are sufficiently capable of dressing themselves[/quote]

I'm an NCS mom who has posted on this thread.  I am glad your daughter is having such a positive experience.  But our experience was not "misinformation."  It was real.  I can count on one hand the number of girls from my DD';s class who were affirmatively happy with the place by about 11th grade.

I have to laugh at the line about how the girls would never accept abuse.   In my DD's experience that was precisely the defining point of why it was such an unhappy place -- the girls regularly witnessed all sorts of abuse and never intervened.  Empathy?  I can't think of a single instance in which empathy was demonstrated for a girl in my DD';s class, by anyone.[/quote]
