Congratulations on being the first douchbag to not get it and start ranking the schools many of our children go to.

Madeira over Potomac or Maret. Um...no. What a wacky list.

Madeira is its own thing. My kid greatly preferred it to any other school she considered. So far, we can't imagine a better place for her.
