Decline Prep offer

[Anonymous]

Who the hell (pardon the pun) is harping on all this time teaching religion? My son's catholic high school has Mass once a month. They have 7 credits each semester, one of which is required for the theology curriculum: freshmen year is is Catholicism, then its world religions, ethics, social justice, etc. My kids learned about other religions during that instruction time and 'ethics' ended up being one of my sons favorite courses. It really got him interested in philosophy and coupled will with his emphasis in history/govt/international relations. All of that is essential for a well-rounded education and view of the world. It's not what you think it is crazy lady.

I believe it.

There are so many wrong impressions of Prep and all these schools.

They are based on people's biases, their experiences in other places, something they were told or read and to a degree what they wish were true about these schools.

There's always someone on DCUM to give their unique experience that belies the general rule.

Are there kids at these schools that aren't typical of the student population but that still have good experiences? Sure!

I suspect many of those that are confused or unaware at the beginning of the Admissions process are not from this area or are new to the world of the local private schools. Most of the locals know lots about these schools including who sends their kids to them, what the kids are like, what the alumni are like and what the history of the place has been.

If you are applying to schools with only a foggy understanding of what they are really like, then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. It's probably good you figured it out before you enrolled your DS.

And you’ve just imagined some theoretical nonsense to make yourself feel better. You only mention the people who have attended and attend now. Nothing about academics. Not surprising since you seem to not be interested in that by your ridiculous delusional dissertation.

You know nothing about me or anyone else. You are an obtuse, ignorant, and insignificant.

I think you have a point. But the delivery leaves a lot to be desired. I’m just wanting to point out out that none of these o and i words are nouns.

DP. You’ve only served to make yourself look bad. If you cannot figure out that the pp you responded to made an error in typing and what was meant, then you are the one who need the lessons.

Good for your kid. Other schools are very different.

From listening to everyone, some kids would die for admission into Prep and it is a very well regarded school. Has anyone else's DS declined their offer to Georgetown Prep? What school did they end up accepting and why? Do they regret making that decision?

Do you usually like to stir the pot, OP?

Are you the reading comprehension lady? You are a hero. Possibly the most prolific of the dcum crazies.

The dcum grammar policing thing is so trite and not a gotcha. Are you that dense that you can’t figure it out? Good Lord, get a life!

Only since you decided to be the de facto dcum grammar police, lady. Agree that you are the most prolific of the dcum crazies.

I’m not the pp, but you spoke about nouns from a typo someone made. Hypocrite, much?

Congratulations! You know what a noun is. Now try inferential reading.

Move on, that was years ago. Jealousy has not helped you since, try something different and move on. Good grief!
