[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never heard anyone explain why it is helpful to remove girls from their classrooms in a way that makes sense to me.[/quote]

Okay then don’t send your son to all boys. Problem solved. We love all boys. There is too much focused on why boys are not girls with focus and etc etc. My son has thrived in all boys and has a lot of friends outside who are girls and it works. FYI a lot of the NCS girls seem very unhappy and stressed so maybe the NCS mom is projecting. Who knows but so many schools in DC so easy to find one that works.[/quote]

You know every family will give you a different perspective. I have kids at both NCS and STA. None of my kids are in with the "mean girls" nor the "bros" but they are each very happy and seem to get along with most of their classmates -- regardless of the fact that they don't hang out with all of them in their free time.  Both schools are intense academically, but the faculty want them to do well and are always available for office hours. There is scaffolding for the kids who take advantage of it.

My kids have really nice friends -- I am sure there are groups like theirs at all the schools. Attend the open houses, ask to talk to current families. Keep your kids involved in the process... they will let you know if the place feels comfortable to them.

Good luck with your search.[/quote]
