[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The people here taking time out of their day to post negative things about these teenagers' looks must be deeply unhappy people. There's enough awfulness in this world already and your comments have absolutely no added value. Please step back for a second and think about what you are writing on a public forum that could live forever on the internet. They all look beautiful to me! [/quote] If someone insists on posting about how “beautiful” these girls are, the door has been opened for others to share differing opinions. Some of us have eyes and can clearly see that these girls do not look much different, as a whole, from students at NCS, Holton, Visitation, Stoneridge, etc. The difference is that the above mentioned schools [b]are all objectively better schools than Holy Child[/b]. [/quote] I have a somewhat different take. My understanding is that HC has a very intentional program within the school auspices to support neuro diverse learning. Wow! Some of these learners may need that support to blossom, and maybe will see the gains in graduate school, in the arts, in tech--who knows. A school that actively supports all kinds of children rather than recruiting "one type" may have different looking college admittances, but that may be a reflection of their open arms to many types of girls, and doesn't mean it's not a good school. It looked like a fine school to me when we were looking, for all kinds of girls. It also looked fun, interesting and balanced. I do think in High School it could have slightly wider program offerings--ie classic languages--but overall, the academics looked solid to me. Our area needs alternatives to the grind school routine many of our area "best" publics and privates have succumbed to, and an emphasis on engagement, joy and support actually seems refreshing and forward thinking. Different doesn't mean 'worse'. Their pedagogy/approach seems better articulated and delivered than a lot of places![/quote]
