[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DS is entering the C Form.  Recently, we were set up on a play date with a number of other entering C Formers, all of whom graduated Beauvoir.  DS has gone the public school route.  Both DS and I were a bit intimated by these boys.  They all seem so athletic and polished and ultra preppy in dress and mannerisms.  Mind you, we are hardly from the other side of the tracks, but still . . . .  Any similar first impression out there?  Do things get better?[/quote]

PP, it's always hard to be the 'man out'.  Within a few weeks, the Beauvoir/non-Beauvoir distinctions seem to fade.  
I wouldn't worry about the preppy culture/manners.  I can't imagine 9 year olds are all that different.  Anyway, STA has a way of instilling its own culture (standing up when a grown up enters the room, in conversation with adults, etc).  They'll all get it at some point.

Interesting tidbit about standing up when a grown up enters the room - how/when do they teach that?[/quote]
