I don't remember a public stigma in the movie (in my defense, if I'm wrong, it's been quite a while since I've seen it--every so often I'll watch some of it if I come across it on TV, but otherwise it's been at least several years). I do remember more of a whispered query among the girls, at least, which is what I remember from high school. I hope I had a good poker face, 'cause I sure tried to shrug and dodge and pray like hell nobody ever actually made me answer.
We had fewer than 700 students, so maybe there just wasn't critical mass to form cliques
Oh no, you had plenty. My graduating class had 120 students, so we had about 600 kids, maybe less, and we had cliques aplenty. So did the private school I taught at, which had 470--including grades 6-8.
it seems at odds with the whole "don't judge by appearances" point of the rest of the movie.
Ah, but see, that only applies if you're a guy... ;)
