[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have kids at couple different schools you mentioned. I think quirky kids have an easier time fitting in at Sidwell, GDS, Burke, Field, St. Andrews. Quirky takes more self-confidence to fit in at Holton, NCS, Bullis, Potomac. Maret is probably somewhere in the middle. To be clear, there are quirky kids at all of these schools, but in terms of ease of fitting in, some really benefit from a more outgoing, confident personality. And if your friends who know your daughter are suggesting certain schools might be better for her, they may have a point worth considering.[/quote] A good school's goal is to foster learning. Why do they have to be only good for a confident kid? In what aspects of the curriculum does it only encourage kids who are already confident but not cultivate confidence? I found these additional association about American schools very strange. In other parts of the world, a school is to teach kids to how learn. [/quote]
