The Pressure of the List at Bishop Grey Academy
At Bishop Grey Academy, a prestigious boarding school, students navigate intense competition symbolized by a system known as 'the list.' This system determines social status and opportunities, leaving many students scrambling for recognition and resources. For example, scholarship students often find themselves at a disadvantage compared to legacy students, who secure their first choice in courses and activities. The pressure to perform not only academically but socially leads to a toxic atmosphere where relationships and alliances are formed out of necessity rather than genuine friendship.
