Are they happy there? Do they have friends?
is this 'got to be sporty to survive & thrive at Hampton' thing a myth, or outdated?
My sons are very different. One is sporty, very driven, very self confident. The other is dreamy, arty, needs lots of encouragement as he's not too confident, and lots of prods as he;s not a self starter.
It's DS2 I'm concerned about. He's naturally academic but doesn't try hard, naturally artistic but also doesn't show much enthusiasm. He's very sociable and really happy when he's with a group of friends. he is obsessed with D&T which looks outstanding at Hampton.
What we can't gauge is whether the school will give him some drive or whether he'll wilt among all these pushy, sporty Alpha boys.
