[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but the opposite entered my mind via an article in the Atlantic or someplace about the earlier and less committed sexual practices in at least some public schools vs private. I recall it being a study and a demonstrable difference. So it was avoiding the wrong dating pool, and not searching for the right one (what’s that even). but it’s a bonus. These are nice kids who’ve come up together including at cotillions etc. I’m sure it’s the same in public (it was in our old school) but I wasn’t going to wait and find out after the principal of the prospective public kept extolling grit and resilience as the greatest virtues. Maybe hold the grit for now, at least for my DCs

You don’t have to apologize but thanks for opening the way for my gritty, resilient DCs who are also actually really smart.  If you combine kind, smart and tough (gritty) you can go literally anywhere.  Removing gritty makes a big difference.  [/quote]

You can develop grit as a kid without being shanked in the stairwell. A parent’s illness, your own internal struggles. An unpleasant divorce. Financial change of circumstances.  Being hospitalized a few times. The list is kind of open and isn’t limited to a violent high school like the one down the street from us that we drove past to get a better HS in DC[/quote]
