[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of defensiveness in these posts which I find disturbing because the comments seem so emotional and dismissive.

It's a great school but it's not perfect. It's so big I do think it can be difficult to find your group sometimes. It's also highly competitive which can be difficult for some kids.

It's overall [b]a very accepting community[/b]. There are many groups full of smart, quiet kids, but I do personally know families who really did not like it and their children struggled to fit in.[/quote]

You sound like a racist.[/quote]

What planet are you from?  The question was can a quiet kid be happy? Answer - it's an accepting community for smart quiet kids. WTH?[/quote]

An "accepting" community is white privilege, it assumes a superiority whereby you say "ok we'll accept these people who aren't as good as us"
Really I would have thought anyone on DCUM would have learned this by now.[/quote]
NP. This is ridiculous. An accepting community is one where all types of people are welcome. You don’t have to conform to any mold.  A large school can seem overwhelming at first because there is more noise and hustle and bustle, but there are scores of groups to join and tons of kids not interested in any group.  IME, there is is a lot less pressure to “fit in” than at a small school because there is no one popular crowd. [/quote]
