Be honest: did you think about future dating opportunities for your child when you decided to send

No. I would prefer DC date outside of school.

So maybe on the school profile and marketing materials there should be an item: Number of marriages between classmates (and other grades), average dating duration, subcategory of students dating siblings of classmates. It’s what I look for in a finishing school. Gotta go, there’s a new Honeymooners episode on now.

I’m guessing you’ve never read your school’s magazine.

Tuition insurance should kick in if your daughter is 35 and single

Peer groups can lead to friends during college and post-college. Who knows?

Wait, is it?! I posted yes (re: social environment) with an understanding we were talking about dating during school years. Not years down the road! No, I definitely did not and would not consider that in school selection. I'm hoping my DD identifies a serious dating prospects in college or grad school, but not MS/HS!

You remember Princeton Mom? That was so yesterday, the idea that college was the best setting to find your ideal future spouse. Now, the colleges that work well in this regard are just too damn hard to get into. The winning move is to just soon up the pairing-off to HS. So now, marrying your HS sweetheart isn’t a throwback move, it’s a status symbol.

It’s not about marrying your 11th grade Chem lab partner. Rather, attending a private school introduces you to students at other private schools who you could contact later on.
