What school is that?

Irony alert!

Really? OK. ... For many of these, I can't tell which are real versus which are made-up snark.

The first week included a new school year event attended by parents. It brought out all of my insecurities - I'm not pretty enough and am about 20 pds overweight, my husband dresses like a slob and has an unimportant job, we live in the "wrong part" of town (i.e., not Bethesda or NW), etc., etc.. My therapist will have a very busy fall.

I ask this sincerely: do you honestly not understand what irony is? Or, is the problem that you're still 12 and can therefore be forgiven because you understandably haven't explored this concept in school yet?

I ask this sincerely: do you honestly not understand what "sincerity" is? Because your post sounds very disingenuous (look it up).

PS, Unlike you, I appreciate the effort of the tongue-in-cheek posters here. Sometimes the private school forum seems overrun with self-importance, naïveté (your experience after 3 days is meaningful?) and hot air, so that a little levity (look it up) is a welcome break.

My kid loved her first week, said kids, teachers were amazing and actually said she wished she could go to school on the weekend!
