What makes me mad is that the privates tout being better and then you enroll with that expectation not being fulfilled. Lots of great marketing from the privates.

Oh my G--, if you spent as much time on your son as you do criticizing his school on DCUM you and he would be in a much much better place. We get it -- you don't like his school. You've all but named it with your indications of what the school is but somehow think you're being coy by not always actually naming it. You're totally recognizable across multiple threads. Just leave the school already. Believe me, people will be happy to see YOU go. Not your son, he's a kid, but YOU? Yes!!!!!

Probably would do you best to get off of the multiple threads if you are this bothered and dramatic about by what others write about their experience.

No, the PP is right, the SAAS mom who posts EVERYWHERE about how bad the school is just needs to stop. We get it, you aren't happy.

I know first hand about that school and can empathize and understand why a parent would be unhappy.

How do the Ws compare to BCC. We are thinking of moving and prefer the neighborhoods that feed to BCC.

BCC is in the same category as the Ws. It just doesn’t have a W in the name.

Why are people scared of naming the school.

The crazy ranting poster assumed it was SAAS.

I didn’t see anything about SAAE in that string of comments. The pp you mentioned sounds a bit off the rails and controlling. She did not do herself any favors. Regardless, if someone has something knowledge about issues with a school, some parents might appreciate knowing.

You didn't see it in that particular comment, but it's been a theme, and it's in a LOT of threads. I'm sure she has some legitimate grievances, but it's gone off the rails - she even posted in a thread that was specifically about all girls schools (and yes, she mentioned SAAS by name).

100% agree. So much do that I've set up a storyline in my head that the "SAAS mom" is actually a divorced dad with a divorce settlement that sticks him with the bill but not the choice of school. Because... Why would anyone stay say at the school or monopolize so many threads about hating it so?

Odd that you and pp seem to know so much about one supposed poster and have it all played out in your head. Your grievance about this supposed poster sounds ironically similar to you both. Lots of people comment, you don’t have to agree, let it go.

Aside if one or more than one are posting, I can assure you that it’s not just one person who has been displeased with the school.

I remember that post, other boy’s schools were named from other people as well on that thread. It wasn’t the only one.

Good analysis.
Otherwise if you don’t like a school you move out specially private.

Additionally some other schools have been named across varying grades in other threads, including girls schools and co-ed. There has also been mention of many people staying at schools even if they don’t find the academics to be superior for varying reasons( religion, smaller class sizes, not wanting to disrupt kids again, etc.). So to assume that only one person isn’t happy or over the moon about private education, in general or as compared to public l, eoyld be naive.

Agree, there are frequent assumptive posts who claim to identify one person of posting grievances of one school. You are correct to say that it is very naive to believe that only one person is unhappy about private education compared to public. And yes, many stay for a myriad of reasons, but are unhappy that it doesn’t fulfill the expectation that the academics should be exceptional compared to public. That is justifies reason to make one unhappy.

[Anonymous]

Who on DCUM has ever claimed that every single private school on earth should have exceptional academics compared to every public school? Please link to these posts.
