[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like some girls really have a good time there: those who are socially advanced, well-connected, well-moneyed, "in" girls, who are not bullied, who have been always getting along with the "in" girls, who don't rock the boat, ...

And some girls have tougher time there: those who are not socially that advanced, introverted, or isolated, on the low social-economical end, who are not so close to the "in" girls, and not so much an academic star either, who have been bullied, or mocked, or frequently slighted by the other girls, or teachers/officials, ...

And some are just coasting along: those who are quiet, reserved, moneyed, academically average or above average, ... not in the "in" crowd but do not get slighted or looked down on either.  [/quote]

Agreed.  My SIL is a NCS grad and had a terrible experience there but she certainly fits the profile of the 'tougher time' girls.  However, there is a girl down the street, who greatly resembles the third group, and she seems very happy.  She has found her niche and is comfortable.  Unless a girl is being actively bullied I think that almost any girl could settle in nicely at any of the top all-girls schools (NCS, Holton, Visi, Holy Child, SR) in the area but the happiness she needs to thrive must come from within.[/quote]
