[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally worry about girls schools being too academically focused because girls often have a tendency to be perfectionists. Girls already outnumber boys in college. I imagine any competitive girls school will have an academically intense environment. [/quote]

Umm, let me guess, you are a "stay at home mom" - an unemployed woman with nothing to do but fret about what life *might* be like in the big scary world beyond your kitchen.[/quote]

Not PP but there’s some truth to the post. I went to an all girl’s school attached to a boys school. The girl’s school was known to be harder. The boy’s school was just as prestigious. College outcomes were the same, and the boys had better careers. Just look at NCS vs STA or Holton vs Landon. [/quote]

NP. These posts are odd. Women being fully empowered means they can choose to work or not work or a little of both. I am fortunate enough and confident enough that I worked then decided to raise my kids myself rather than hiring someone else to raise my kids. PP sounds bitter. Maybe she shouldn't work so much.
