[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can find an unhappy person at every institution.  Doesn't mean much.  [/quote]
I'm not opining on NCS one way or the other, but you honestly don't think that some schools have a higher percentage of happy (or unhappy) students than others?[/quote]

I honestly think so. When I was choosing schools with my daughter, I chose to try to ignore the posts talking about the toxic atmosphere at NCS and tried to focus on the positive. That being said, the reputation ended up being not far off the mark and my daughter is truly happier at another school. Many parents voiced similar feelings about the school-many of them current parents still. These reputations are not created from nothing. It doesn’t mean your daughter can’t be happy there. But the truth is that they’re not overly concerned with your happiness. [/quote]

You didn't send your daughter to NCS, so how would you know that "they're not overly concerned with your happiness"?  What is happiness at an academic institution anyway?  Getting good grades?  Playing on the A team?  Making friends?  By the time kids get to middle school, adults can no longer orchestrate these types of things.  Kids have to find their niche, and their friend group.  Middle school and high school are not for the faint of heart.  And yes, I do think there are plenty of unhappy kids at every school, public or private.  That's just life.  [/quote]
