[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not call them students instead of girls. And seriously does your handbook really say “girls”, our handbook always said young ladies.

It’s just weird you are stuck on the word girl.[/quote]

My point is that the school is for females - young ones - who are generally called girls (or young ladies if you prefer.) The point is not the specific word, the point is that the purpose and identity of the school is to educate young females and that it seems ludicrous to try and erase that identity when it is the very purpose of the school.

I think it's ridiculous to box them in. They are in a school, they are students. Period. That is their purpose there.

Female CEO
Female athlete

It's like and * she is an "athlete" but also female... not she is a CEO, athlete... STUDENT.[/quote]

No.  Parents like me specifically chose this school because it is for girl students. All schools are not for all students. Schools and like Holton and NCS are specifically for girls.[/quote]

The very small minority is not going to change these single-sex schools. Get over it and go to public school or a coed private school. Not to mention 99% of this is just a fad perpetuated by social media and having an effect on these young girls minds. [/quote]

You're not following the discussion. OP brought up the point that some of these girls at -- Holton, we presume -- are actively trying to change wording in the school handbook. That is a change that most of us don't want to see. Therefore, this "very small minority" as you refer to it, needs to be shut down.[/quote]
