[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Strained relationship with STA the last few years.[/quote]

That's cause so many of the boys are proud chauvinists.[/quote]

Nice way to deflect and totally untrue.  My son is at STA and neither he nor his classmates in the upper school are chauvinists.   NCS is an utter crap show compared to STA.  It is common knowledge that STA is a better envirnment for students in every way.  Its no surprise that many STA boys' sisters go to Holton, Potomac, SR, Visi, and other schools with better balance and morals and behavior.  The ONLY thing about NCS that makes it a top school is its rigorous and greuling academics.  Its social enviroment is toxic.

Shows that you don't actually have a daughter at NCS.

Remember the Google doc kept by the now-senior class a couple of years ago, in which they detailed all the sexual harassment and chauvinism that they had experienced from boys at STA?[/quote]

You clearly don't have any knowledge at all.  That doc was started and kept by NCS girls, one of whom gave an STA boy access so he could refute what a girl had written about him.  There was more than enough guilt on both sides there too, the girls and the boys.  [/quote]

I am pretty sure that I made it clear it was generated by NCS girls. As for "guilt on both sides" - you are delusional. The girls started the document to vent about bad behavior by STA boys. They were into well within their rights to do so. It was the school administration that stopped it - not doubt due to the lobbying of STA parents in denial (like you) of the  very entitled behavior displayed by many STA boys.[/quote]

You are right and wrong in your recollections. It was started by some NCS girls to try to collect stories/recollections of behaviors they thought demonstrated a need to work on social interactions between the school.  Someone at NCS showed to one or more boys and some boys posted some attacks that went beyond "refuting."  An older NCS girl went to some faculty at NCS and the faculty worked with the original authors to shut down access to the document because it was not a safe or private way to share their experiences.  NCS admin took it to STA admin.  STA admin took it very seriously and, among other things, provided the document to the authorities (this was announced to the student body at the time).

So, I'd agree with you that "guilt on both sides" is not an accurate reading.  But you are in error about why the document was taken off-line and what the school admins did.[/quote]
