Agree with this. Put the sticker on your car, or not. But don't talk about how "people like us don't do that" because it's not on a level with forgetting to write a thank-you note.

Oh, but is is on a level with not writing a thank-you note. It's bad manners. It's just not done (by the right kind of people).

Oh God, thank you. I needed a good laugh tonight. Your post is so ridiculous - thanks again!!!

ps: Do the right kind of people really post about themselves on DCUM?

Maybe your child's school should stop making the magnets/bumper stickers if it's really attracting the wrong types of people.

You know what they say: if you have to ask . . . .

We have tried to hype up the new school, and when the school sent a magnet with the school name on it, we proudly put it on our 1991 SUV. On the other hand, I would have loved to have a Janey, Lafayette or Murch sticker on our car, but alas, the lowest number we got was 132. When I got into college, my parents were proud because they gave up a lot to see that I got a great education. You just don't know why someone has a sticker on their car, and really, it is none of your business.

If, as you say, it's no one else's business, then why are you talking about it? Your argument is like saying that one's personal finance is no one else's business and therefore we should all not discuss credit card debt at all.

My bet is that all these people saying "it just isn't done" are neither old money (they're just trying to emulate it) nor do they have children at a top 3 school.

I work in one of these schools. Every day I park my car and walk by all the other cars (in the lot and in the drop-off line) with school stickers. With a few exceptions, the only cars missing stickers are the ones belonging to faculty.

Hope you didn't bet all your money.

Two PPs demonstrating the weakness of inductive logic.

Followed by a PP demonstrating that she needs a lesson in rhetoric. It is not inductive logic to draw conclusions based on her objective information, i.e. observations of the many stickers in her top private school's parking lot, and then drawing the conclusion that this "is done" at this particular private school.

You need to take a basic logic class or at least look in a dictionary.

Your school must not be mine. At our "big 3" school, I am behind various other parents' cars every day at drop-off and pick-up, and I actually see very few school stickers.

Also, it's a big mistake to think good manners or good taste is limited to those with high social status or old money. I find graciousness in people from all walks fo life.

I bought a used car with a gongaza sticker on it.
I live far from that school, upper montgomery county, and my children are all girls
I have not given the sticker much thought

Come to think of it, I haven't seen many window stickers in recent months as I used to. I wonder if it is out of fashion? God bless it if it is.

I see more magnets now-- easier to take off or leave on.

The only sticker I have on my car is the carpool sticker in the front window.

The bumper sticker doesn't help with anything--it only identifies you as a rude and reckless driver on the way to the school during morning rush hour.

I hate people who try to cut in at the last minute. Especially laughable are the ones who weave in and out only to end up exactly one spot in front of the car ahead. Really? It is worth risking your children's lives for 20 feet?

In these economic times I think people are beginning to recognize that private school stickers are in poor taste.
