[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rice sent her daughter to NCS, but her daughter chose to transfer to Maret for high school. [/quote]

I wonder why…[/quote]

Probably because she knew she didn't want that kind of high school experience. So, rather than force her to stay at the school, her parents allowed her to transfer. I wish this happened more than it does, but so many parents are dead set on having their DDs graduate from NCS because it opens doors for them. What they don't like is the hard work students must complete at the school. For DDs like mine, who felt unchallenged in public school, NCS was a godsend. But it's not a school for everyone. I wish people would stop thinking that it is.[/quote]

Your second to last sentence hits the nail squarely on the head. NCS is NOT for everyone and I applaud families who change schools if needed. That said, those who insist parents want kids to stay in (any school), it can be extremely challenging for kids to move socially so families must weigh many factors. My daughter loves NCS (although it’s by no means perfect) but she has friends who are less happy. Really it’s very individual![/quote]
