[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is out-placement like for girls who reject the social climate?  Does anyone have experience with admissions at alternative schools when girls are candid that they did not like the NCS culture?  How do the administration and teachers react to girls rejecting NCS because they are not willing to tolerate what this post discusses?[/quote]

DD did exactly this. (PP, there's no need to be so nasty -- there's no indication that this poster is applying as opposed to having a child there.  Since my DD did exactly what this poster is asking I think its a perfectly fine question).  I don't want to identify her but she was seriously unhappy and we realized at a pretty high grade that it just wasn't worth it.  The teachers and administration were completely supportive.  The line we kept hearing is that they just wanted her to be somewhere where she would be happy.  This is somewhat two-edged as I thought they were supportive for the most part because they didn't want to have to deal with the source of her unhappiness and were just as happy to see her leave.  I also got the sense that the teachers, in particular, know there's something rotten about the climate at NCS.  In any event. its the best parenting decision we ever made.  DD LOVED her new school -- and the contrast made us realize how unhealthy the situation was at NCS -- and was admitted to a top SLAC.  The other parents at NCS give you the sense that you are sacrificing your DD's entire future if she leaves.  I think thats the myth they tell themselves to get through all the unhappiness.  Then you hear about the NCS grads who go off to college and have to "take time out" because they are so fried from their NCS experience.  I feel unbelievably happy that we dodged that bullet.[/quote]

PP is talking about applying to a school she and her DD both KNOW they will hate and will want to transfer out of in a few years.  Either PP is a complete fake just trying to stir this particular pot again, or she's an idiot. Your situation is completely different, because you got into it still thinking she would like it. No, that was a troll post.[/quote]

I don't where you get that she is thinking of applying.  I've read the post several times, and it just isn't there.  Where are you getting that?

PLus, if that were the case, i don't see why you see it as a bad question.  What if she thinks the school would be a good fit now, but is concerned that it might not be down the road?  Thats seems like a perfectly legitimate question, though it isn't the question she asked.

You really need to calm down here.  There's nothing in this post that seems like a troll at all.  There's nothing about applying to a school she knows she will hate.  The tone is certainly far better than your posts.[/quote]
