I think to a large extent, this depends on the conservative family. Some Beauvoir families are uncomfortable with the racism and xenophobia expressed by Trump and Cruz. If you are a Trump or Crus supporter, you are likely to feel uncomfortable expressing that support at Beauvoir, which has a diverse student population that includes immigrants and minorities.

Please give us a specific example-- just one-- of the "racism and xenophobia" expressed by trump and/or Cruz. An exact quote

You're missing nothing . It is not worth $34,000.

DC spends close to $29K per year on each elementary school child. I would say that, dollar for dollar, Beauvoir blows DCPS away.

As an education expert, I feel every child should get the best possible education, but unfortunately thee are deeply entrenched systemic issues in public education that may ale years to solve. I send my children to Beauvoir because it offers much better quality than offered at the public school we're zoned for.

Anyone who is versed in early childhood education will tell you that the earliest years are the most formative and important. They are the years in which children's attitude toward learning are developed, as well as a self-image of themselves as learners. Get those things wrong and the damage may be very hard to reverse.

If I had to choose between a great private PK-2nd grade education vs. a great private high school education, I would invest in the PK-2nd.

$34,000. You have to be REALLY well off for that number not to mean anything. If you have three kids, that's over $100,000 a year. Do you have that kind of money? It's not that j don't also believe in "investing" in my children's education. Does it really cost $34,000 a year, per kid, to provide your 4-9year old a good education?

And anyone who is versed in psychology will tell you that those characteristics are formed at home, not at school. A "bad" school can be overcome by a loving, well-led home. The reverse is not true.

Clearly you have never visited the school. You are missing a lot.

Did you miss when he referred to Mexicans as lazy or what he has said about women? Let's not even talk about how he speaks of "the" Blacks. And then there is that stupid slogan "Make America great again." You know when only the White man was deserving of a place at the table and certainly only a White man entitled to sit at the head of the table.

At the other schools we have visited, we like many things but can usually identify at least one con. With Beauvoir it may be as you suggest, that it ends at 3.

If we get accepted and attend I'm not sure we would be one of the families looking ahead to NCS. I've heard that if you aren't that could cause some tension. Have you experienced any of that or witnessed that?

So the whole child molester on FBI most wanted isn't a negative?
