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.

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.

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

How about I take saints for every day extra 2 hours of homework instead?

Drinking or drugs? Both, perhaps?

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.

Squee go have a beer

That’s so tired.

If he is thinking of Landon, he should definitely turn down Prep. It will not be a great fit.

Very odd question. You should not base an acceptance on wondering if anyone declined as a decision on accepting. Do what is best for your son. Prep is
for Catholics as STA for Episcopalians. If you are not a catholic then maybe another school fits better.

Pschaw. There are plenty of Episcopalians at Georgetown Prep!

LOL. That sh*t was all made up. He didn't assault Blasey-Ford, and we all know it. Hell, Dementia Dianne Feinstein held on to the" intel" for as long as she could. This was performative politics, nothing more.

But by all means, continue this march through life with that singular focus on politicizing every decision you make and every thought you think.

You are disgusting. Her testimony was spot-on for a victim. Just like the Prep Bros to instinctively rally around their own.

The fact you type this more or less proves my point. She was coached. She lied. It was bullshit, plain and simple. You're an easy mark, and I'm disgusting. I can live with that.

Landon has veered pretty far left politically. If that aligns with your family's values, then go to Landon, and if not, go to Prep.

Wow. Thank you for this clarification.

Seems to me that the STA classes are so small there wouldn’t be room for “tons of Catholics”.

The handful of Catholics at STA would be dwarfed by the number of boys at Prep, Gonzaga and St. John’s.

There are certainly more Catholic boys at Prep, etc. since those are Catholic schools (DUH), but there are many at STA, too - five boys already into BC and two to Notre Dame, and all (save maybe one) are Catholic. There are at least a dozen seniors who are Catholic.

Do you think the Catholic boys chose STA because of practical concerns like commute distance or specific coaches? I’m a bit surprised.

Sounds like those Catholics boys at STA who are going to BC and ND decided it wasn't as much fun hanging out with the Protestants as their parent's thought it would be.

Now that is hysterical!

Hey Pope Pompous the I, can’t believe my eyes reading about how the YT Catholic people in the know, know. How about the schools advertise correctly? Put upfront the number of hours of religious instruction, homework and extracurricular activities? That’s sufficient information. The only other information I have is from the public hearings of Cult Amy and 🍺 Breath and that ain’t a positive.

You can't be helped!

The questions you are answering will tell you little of the school and the experience.

If you are are going to be offended by those who have the polar opposite reaction to the Kavanaugh hearing, it's best you stay away from Prep and Gonzaga and St. Johns.

Maybe disclose that too. No offense. But mind boggles

Brett Kavanaugh is revered by his classmates, those who taught him, by his neighbors and everyone who has known him. This includes Blousey’s parents.

I don’t think Prep is going to put that in their brochures. Everyone in town pretty much knows that.

It is scary how alcohol can change someone, particularly a young teenage boy at a party.

If anybody has doubt whether the Kavanaugh accusation was true, read the book Justice on Trial. The two authors are conservative so you could say they have an agenda, but they footnote practically every sentence in the whole book with source material. There is no possible that the woman’s story could be true. They go through the whole story methodically and show one inconsistency or impossibility after another. You don’t have to like Justice Kavanaugh or Prep generally, but facts are facts.

A handful isn't "plenty".

When you take out all the Mater Dei grads, the boys who went to Catholic parish schools, the URM's and the Aisian International students there isn't any room left for "plenty of Episcopalians".

Exactly.

If the boy and the parents can't tell the difference between Prep and Landon, the kid should go to Landon. (Which many Prep people consider to be the anti-Prep.)

In fact, anyone who considers Landon should not apply to Prep because obviously they don't understand what make Prep different.

Just like a Democrat to see things through an ideological lens.

Prep isn't for you, for sure.
