[quote=Anonymous]Hi! Sorry I'm back. Busy week.

"we had some girls leave Holton for BCC. Do you feel like you get enough attention there or don't you like attention anyway?"

Attention in what way? I have been impressed by how connected the teachers (at least most of them) have been to a class of 20 some students. If that's what you mean...

"A number of the girls who leave NCS & Holton do so to have a better social life -- they'll have more time when they go to a public school -- less homework."

Maybe so. That is not why I left. Admittedly I have slightly less homework but I take pretty difficult classes so it's not like I'm wallowing in free time. I probably had a bigger social life when I went to NCS actually.

"public schools also do not have the strict sports requirements thats the private schools do."

This is true but not for me. I'm a two sport athlete. B-CC varsity girls soccer is going to the Maryland state championship tomorrow against Urbana. Also I row crew. And hopefully I'll make varsity on that too. Even though NCS does require a sport every season there are less rigorous sports, like yoga or pilates, for people who are less athletically oriented than people like me.

I didn't leave NCS for more attention or more free time or more or a social life or easier classes or less athletics. I left it because I was unhappy with the school and unhappy with the administration and I wanted to go somewhere better. I chose B-CC and I am very happy with that decision. It might not be the right place for everybody but I think it's the right place for me and I don't think that it should be assumed that private school is better just because they are private.

I know it's hard to convey tone in writing so I'd like to say I'm not trying to be mean or belittle the questioners- just clarifying.
