Yeah, sour grapes from your whine....

I certainly hope that was a high school student -- and not an adult -- posting his teenage fantasy about girls going down "on their knees" for "more masculine guys, more specifically st albans guys." If that was an adult posting, he should be doubly ashamed. But I'm pretty confident in saying it was a St Albans boy.

It's also pretty telling about how some St Albans boys view girls. Makes me want to set limits on who my daughter dates when she reaches that age. Ick.

PP, that post doesn't read as if a teenage boy wrote it. It seems that you're offended because you have a DS at Maret. Don't allow perfect strangers to rattle you, I'm sure you're son isn't strange.

In this day and age, when would any kids allow themselves to be defined by their schools? Pathetic.

Hey, St. Albans student: don't you have anything better to than lurk on DCUM with people your mother's age? Like hanging with friends, or reading books?

OP, you definitely made the right decision.

I have observed a full range of 'normal' teens at Maret and have not noticed any real differences between them and kids at similar schools. OP, I understand your feelings of regret, but I am sure your child will be happy where he or she goes. If not, you can always try another school.

Thanks for your adult opinion. OP, you may now feel confident that your DC will be happy at the new school because PP said so. Sheesh! This is a discussion forum. There's always more than one perspective.

But ranting about how Maret boys are 'strange' isn't really a discussion, is it? It's just invective. A true discussion would involve reasoned opinions, not ridiculous statements that are clearly meant to incite. I'm not sure why I would expect more from this particular forum, but I still have hope.

I had exactly the same reaction.

OP, why did you choose to go with the other school? Was it simply the commute?

3rd poster with the same reaction.

Note to St. Albans boy: we moms have a special radar that allows us to tell, from the style and message, just who is posting.
