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. [b]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.[/b]

The difference is that the above mentioned schools are all objectively better schools than Holy Child. [/quote]

Oh honey, you must be blind or have a child who attends one of those “brains, not looks” schools.  Just be happy your daughter will not have to rely on her looks to get ahead. She will have smarts and a stick with it-ness that will allow her to be single forever instead of having to marry some wealthy overly tanned white-toothed Georgetown prep grad.  How liberating![/quote]

You sound like you have neither brains nor looks. My children (one boy and one girl) attend the same Big 3. I’ll help you out because you seem a little slow—it’s either GDS or Sidwell.

Luckily my daughter has both brains and beauty. I’ll also make it very clear to my son that he should avoid girls from Holy Child. I’ve never given HC a thought before this thread, but these posts have been enlightening. [/quote]

Ok. I don’t believe your daughter is cute. Ask me why but there’s a reason for the expression “X has a face only a mother could love.”  And I seriously doubt your son has the looks, charm or wealth to attract a Holy Child girl.

I do not yet have a child in high school but looking at the insta pages for the high schools I would argue that Holy Child has an unusually high percentage of gorgeous girls and they seem genuinely happy. It’s okay to say this. I don’t know why stating this annoys so many middle aged/aging mothers.

Anyhow, like God said, all children are beautiful. So can’t we all just get along?[/quote]

Not directed at any PP specifically, but the overall tone of some in this 'debate', trash-talking a small local independent school that is part of a network of schools that extend into Africa and South America, with an incredible founding mission. Do you know anything about Cornelia Connelly or the outreach the network does to a wide variety of girls, both learning styles and socio economically? The pedagogical approach? Of the founders and founding missions in our area schools, Cornelia Connelly's philosophy stands out as very cool and enlightened. She certainly won BEST Nun during an era when Catholic education and orders didn't always shine so brightly (yes Irish laundries, I'm looking at you). I'm struggling to understand the motivation behind all this negativity. Why don't you visit the school and get to know it better?
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelia_Connelly
"Despite the strained economy of her Sussex school, Cornelia Connelly insisted on maintaining day schools for those who could afford tuition, as well as free schools for those who could not. She introduced Greek and Latin writers in translation for her brightest female pupils – courses that were otherwise reserved for male pupils. Amidst the Darwinian revolution, she had her pupils learn geology. She encouraged them to dabble in art, music, and drama, even to dance waltz and polka, as well as playing whist. [b]Her attitude towards discipline was unusual in that a school to her was meant to be home, with the nuns as mothers who should love, trust and respect their pupils. Disliking the customary convent rules of constant surveillance, she encouraged mutual trust and respect for different talents.[/b][25][/quote]
