[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me about the STA-NCS dances.  If my son doesn't go, is he considered an outlier?[/quote]

My sense is that plenty of kids don't go to the Homecoming dance (the STA formal dance in the fall).  By senior year, most of the kids do go the Prom (eligible for juniors and seniors).  I don't think the dances, which are relatively infrequent, are a big part of the social experience and they don't worry about it.[/quote]

Our STA/NCS DC is borrowing the younger sibs G-3 so he will miss it -;

Jeez louise, nice guys finish first, if they are skilled. No one cares if you go to a dance. This is a tiny school. 75 boys a class. They are all close. Its too small a place to have cliques. No one cares. They will be playing Jazz or rowing together the next morning. I am amazed how parents dreams have no synch with great kids dreams and fears.

Got a 24 year old GS preppy fired today. Took 5 minutes. I am sure his parents spent 20,000 hours to get him there.

STA, HYP, McKinsey/Goldman are great brands, but for heavens sake, these are children running a Marathon of life, and DCUM thinks being first at 100 meters matters?

Love the Posts. read them to remind me, the world is full of well intentioned people, who are clueless...at best. Destructive is more likely.[/quote]

Is this some kind of code that you are writing?  Or is it full of allusions like reading Joyce?  I have no idea what you mean. [/quote]
