You have to be a troll, right? Either way I've found the kids at the independent schools to be way more well-spoken and comfortable with adults than the ones at the Catholic schools I've toured.
Same + I am Catholic. Msany Catholic School kids are schlubby OP.

Seems that the Catholic parents are more executives/sales/business and able to relate to more people and understand the value of presentation skills and talking about a range of subjects. Compared to publics and independents who are policy/law/journalism + wonkier and a little less at ease socially and whose conversations seem to dive really deep into policy, legislation, social justice issues, etc. And they don't dress as well, that's a fact.

Not sure that OP is judging anyone or saying one is better than the other, assuming it is a serious post. They are simply pointing out observable facts: "Better social skills, better presentation, more interesting conversatins." Maybe the last is subjective. Seems more that OP is surprised at what they perceive to be a stark contrast. But I agree that pointing it out is gross. You be you, happy in your circle.
