With respect, we agree to disagree massively on this one. But like everything, there are good schools and not so good schools. I went through the private education system so did my three children and I have also worked in one of the leading independent schools and all those children who entered the school as shy anxious etc left as strong personalities, overflowing with confidence, public speakers etc. There was no chance having completed pre-prep, prep and senior school one would slip through the net!

I agree, I went to private school and between assemblies, ESB exams, toast masters, LAMDA exams and debate there just wasn’t the chance to be shy. Kids who were naturally shyer were still able to stand up and speak in front of an audience
 
I know someone who's been privately educated, and the person is kind of average, intelligent but not anything out of the ordinary, and it's taken them years to decide what to do career wise. In the meantime they worked in a coffee shop! I'd never guess they went to a private school, if it wasn't for some air of arrogance and entitlement

What about neurodivergent kids though? I’m autistic and had selective mutism (which is very much not selective!) and not a thing could change that. I’m a pretty confident person now but thats mostly masking. As a child and teen I would rather sit there quiet and laughed at than even move an inch never mind speaking in class!

👏🏻 That’s exactly what I was trying to say. Being neurodivergent myself as well and having the same type of anxieties as you said

I really dislike Louise but I feel like it's unnecessary to make fun of a child's voice

If Louise reads here … just to point out this poster is right. But more importantly … your child should not be online for adults to form opinions about their voice, personality or looks. Louise has the opportunity to protect Darcy from judgement … and she chooses not to. How stupid.
 
Instead of taking ownership of her poor parenting choices, she puts the morality onus on the public by asking viewers to be good eggs etc. That’s a dangerous game to play with a child’s well-being. She has learnt nothing meaningful about the state of the world from her own horrendous experiences. You’d think safeguarding, in all of its forms not just the ones that she’s happy to choose from, would be paramount. A failure at parenting. The difference between her and her own dad is that she knows her daughter is in a vulnerable position and is doing nothing about it. As soon as her dad knew about her being abused, he took steps. She even acknowledges it.

why does darcy always talk like she has a blocked nose? that would seriously get on my nerves listening to that if she was in a play/musical

I’m not making fun of it but I agree, it’s irritating. Sorry but I find her really generally irritating precocious but yes, Louise is putting her 13 year old on the internet constantly to be critiqued all for more cash that she doesn’t need.
Darcy may have all the material things, and no doubt her mum and dad and lots of people love her and she has a lovely life in those ways but she’s getting such a screwed up upbringing because of Louise’s desperation
 
God she's so bleeping thick :rolleyes:
