[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re self-confidence. I wonder if it's age-specific. I see a lot of insecurity among Jrs and Srs, and the talent show claim rings really hollow at the HS level. I do think the ethos of the school is "you can do anything" (so grads become novelists and restraunteurs and game designers and filmmakers rather than just doctors, lawyers, dentists, and developers like their parents). But the message is also that to do anything well requires a helluva lot of hard work in addition to talent. Standards are high and there is enough talent (as well as resources) in the environment that every kid knows someone who is much better at something than they are by the time they leave HS. Good luck finding a high school where kids don't smoke weed! FWIW, my DC has felt no pressure to smoke (or drink) from classmates at GDS. [/quote] Hahaha at finding a school where kids don't smoke weed. I know...that statement was more of an afterthought. lol. [/quote]
