[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve got to hand it to my DS who will be attending GDS this year. When we were looking at schools he was intrigued by the intimate GDS campus (he is quite a free thinker and bored with athletics, so he sees no need for acres of fields to provide a stimulating environment).  Though he LOVES the upper school as it is, he prophetically observed “this won’t last forever.”  But we agreed that even if the school decided to join the masses by expanding the campus, it wouldn’t impact his school experience. DS reminded me of a quote from his favorite author: “I’d like to be the sort of person who can enjoy things at the time, instead of having to go back in my head and enjoy them.”[/quote]

I'm sure your little genius won't be teased as he embarks on his HS adventure at GDS.[/quote]

I'm not the parent who posted about her son, but was struck by the mean-spiritedness of the person calling him a "little genius."  From what I have heard (and I work in schools), GDS actually is a friendly and respectful place where the kids can be comfortable in their own skins and not fear nasty teasing if, for example, he has the temerity to like to quote favorite authors.  Honestly, shame on you, second quoted poster.[/quote]

Agreed!  Why do adults feel the need to spew this kind of crap?  And we wonder where bullies learn it...[/quote]
