[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids in both high schools. 
STA is not easy but it's objectively much easier than NCS.  If you do the readings, write the papers and study you can do well. You might have to do a lot of work but if you do it, you'll do well. 
NCS is next level.  Girls can do everything right and still get a B+ because the teacher is only giving out two A minuses across 80 kids.  It's just impossible at times. 
You can do the work, stand on your head, count to 100, say the magic word and still end up with a B.

This is actually one of the reasons I didn't choose single gender schools for my kids.  women focused schools just magnify women's self-loathing into a new kind of educational masochism for young women.  They would be far better off in a coed environment, if only because teachers would be less extremist with their grading if they were also grading boys! [/quote]
This makes no sense. Some all boys schools are incredibly hard and not all girls schools are the least bit difficult. You generalize too much. [/quote]
