Not connected to NCS but have elementary-school aged kids and was thinking of NCS as a high school option in the future. I am totally shaken after reading this and not sure will apply now. Please take care of youself and don't let the "mean girls" get to you. Remember you are smart and an individual with self esteem. [/quote]

Really?  The academic pressure that the girls talk about is endemic at any top school in this city.  What do these tweets say to you about mean girl culture?  To me, it actually makes the school seem less mean.  After all, the girls are comfortable venting about their weaknesses to each other.  If they expected mocking or ostracism, this would be social suicide.

I am left thinking that there is too far too much pressure on these girls to succeed, but that probably comes from their parents just as much as it does from the school.[/quote]

It is the parents for sure. [/quote]
