PP that must be the most incoherent message posted in this forum. What's your point?

O.M.G. As a mom with a DD and a DS, both of whom are thriving in public schools, thank you, I have to say this is total BS. You've never observed that parent-child relationships vary so much by kid and by parent? I come to this thread for a little schadenfreude, to make myself happy my kids are in public so I don't have to deal with obsessive private school nutcases like you.

What is the problem?


Mean girls don't just come from the cabbage patch. Most NCS mean girls are on that path before they set foot in NCS,but the environment doesn't help.


I get your point. But what's odd to me as that NCS moms are often also STA moms, and the experience at STA is so opposite mean. In my book, it has to do with the fact that they are girls, in an all girls environment, which just accentuates the crazy we're all capable of, especially in the middle school/teen years.


No, the difference has to do with the leadership of the two schools.

Way to miss the previous poster's point.

You're right the problem isn't just mean girls, it's a number of other things; cold, unsupportive, super competitive (non-collaborative) atmosphere, out of touch administration and very little parent community.


I'm PP and I agree with you. if you read my post I'm clearly not an NCS defender. Its just that the whole thing with the book is a ridiculous distraction.

As I understand it, the author attended Maret and was shocked by her experience at NCS where she was a teacher. After leaving NCS the author taught/consulted with various schools, but she was only a full time teacher at NCS.

You have this person's IP address? You can out her as someone who has a child at NCS?

What is embarrassing is your relentless attack on another school. We get it - you are bitter. You need to let go of your anger, because it is starting to make you look demented.


Thanks, PP.



Replying to you own posts is even more embarrassing.


I posted that you are demented. Someone else thanked me. Go ahead. Ask Jeff to verify.


Yup. I'm the poster who talked about people involved with the book. Go ahead, ask Jeff to check us out -- we're different people. To make this even more interesting, I'll toss in that my DD was accepted to NCS but turned it down for a (horrors!) MoCo magnet. I simply have a need to correct bad info when I see it -- call me compulsive that way.


Okay, so your daughter never went to NCS but you want to discredit people who say it has a negative social atmosphere. It really doesn't matter if the book/movie was based on NCS or not. I had a child there, I can tell you first hand that there are considerable social problems. How can you know differently if your child wasn't/isn't there?
