[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the STA boys are working very hard, I don't think anyone disputes that. It just seems they have a sightly more "reasonable" (its all relative) approach than NCS. The STA classes are easier grades which is why all the girls try to take them, and vice versa why the boys don't want to take the NCS classes. All this just shows how ridiculous the entire thing is.
OF course in the long run, the education is outstanding (at both schools) and the kids will have earned it, but it is beyond rigorous[b]. My G10 NCS daughters teacher was a university professor before he came to NCS and he told my daughter that the assignments at NCS in his class (G10) were harder than first year college.[/b] This seems a little extreme even if you are looking for a great education.[/quote]

THIS

How long have the majority of faculty in the subjective grading courses ( English & History) been at NCS and is it possible that they have been breathing the rarified air for too many decades and that their expectations are set too high

expectations that boys might rebel from, but which striving and compliant girls will just kill themselves to meet- in silence

OR, are the girls just not as bright as their parents think/ expect them to be ?[/quote]
