Congratulations to Nobles, the girls and their coach!!! For a team and a few players that were repeatedly 'trashed' on this forum, it must be sweet redemption.

When were they trashed? It seems like they had their own PR thing going on the ISL forum and some of their parents went a bit overboard stating they could beat the best public schools in the state hands down and the ISL is the only place to see good soccer, etc.

This doesn't take away from the team's accomplishment of course. Congrats to the players and coach.

When were they trashed?

Every team/coach/player/club with a modicum of success gets trashed on this forum.

Re: Nobles

How much does it cost to go there?

Re: Nobles

About $40K more than Newton N, Wellesley HS or Lexington. That doesn't include the $5K you apparently need to spend to dress appropriately. Harris Tweed jackets, wide whales and pink polos are still acceptable.

$40K? Is that the base tuition or does that include boarding?

Isn't nobles half a book store, Bad joke.

Great school, my daughter's friend went there. My daughter went to a lowly public school. They know live across the hall from each other in College, her parents were shocked to see me and three other kids from the lowly public school on moving in day. Just a fun story.

Gee, I hope your daughter has better grammar and spelling skills than you....did you attend that lowly public school, too?

I am lost without spell check. So nice of you to point that out!!! I am much better with numbers. As I mentioned it was just a funny story, nothing more nothing less.

Nobles is a great school and a great campus. It is a lot of $$ and if you have the $$ why not spend it on your kid.

I ran the original post through the website here:

The only thing wrong with it is the word "know" and the capital "C".

I'm glad I am not as @nal as you.

Know/now could be as simple as a key-stroke error. Capitalizing “college” is technically incorrect. However, since it obviously refers to a specific institution, it should not be considered a capital offense.

Unfortunately, the second post reinforces the stereotype of the prep/private parent as an elitist snob. That is too bad because many are not elitist or snobbish. Friend, this is an internet talk forum. Obviously, the traditional and formal rules of grammar, and decorum, are not applicable.

Re: Nobles

Boy I am not use to being defended so well. Thanks!

I rarely spend time proof reading to catch my little errors in this forum. The cap. C was specific to the college and I thought better than precede the College with the specfic college. The (K)now is a common error of mine, 30 times on the chaulkboard. I usually catch that on a reread. I did not see a grammer problem but I was close to a run on sentence.

On another note I watched a Belmont Hill Hockey team and what a great team they are to watch, like Nobles soccer teams. I find it interesting that there is such a wide difference in talent among ISL teams. I wonder if that is good for the league

ps I reread once and found 1 error there may be more. It is like find Waldo.
