SSSAS - what is the culture like currently?

It is more diverse than our ACPS elementary school. Every single teacher has been liberal minded and empathetic. The administrators are reasonable. There is a huge group of qualified male teacher role models in the middle school. Athletics are available to every student. There is opportunity to excel academically but no pressure to succeed at all costs. There are country club families but they are the minority. There are terrible Trump families but I have no idea how they listen to the “woke” agenda of the episcopal reverends. There are annoying donor events and donor pandering but it comes with every private school. My child has a tick and he has experienced almost zero bullying. Some kids are rough and they get phased out. Some kids can’t excel academically and they get phased out. Some families are more conservative and they go to same sex Catholic high schools. I’d say that it’s hard to socialize with kids who live in Maryland who happen to all be POC and that’s not great. Some 4th-8th grade girls are vicious but they grow out of it. Some 3rd-6th grade boys are rough and mean on the playground they move on or channel it into their sports. The new LS admin is a poc and you need to filter some of the complaints about her through that lens- entitled wealthy white families are met with resistance and a measured response from a professional black woman of color. Many do not receive that well. They want to be pandered to. I’ve been incredibly impressed. I went to a k-12 private school and this one is 1000x better.

You know the previous head of the LS was also a black woman who now is the head of St. Patrick’s. So I’m not sure what you mean that the current LS head was met with resistance by wealthy white families when the prior one was also black. And very much adored (St. Patrick’s is so lucky to have her). Very weird take.

Congratulations! You just stated everything that is wrong with SSSAS in a great summary! You are also keeping the losing flame of the 2024 election burning hot. "entitled wealthy white families are met with resistance and a measured response from a professional black woman of color. Many do not receive that well."-So much for all people should be treated equally, I guess? Oh, I forgot, liberals have a double standard for that. No free speech or equality if you disagree with them. Thank you for your divisive and woke attitude. You, and those like you who refuse to get it, will continue to ensure Republican victories.

Nope. Have a child going there in the fall. Also have a federal job. I am tired of politics. It is in my world every day, and on social media and I get tired of the constant drumbeat of doom. To hear it coming from anything associated with my kids school makes me sad.

I think PP gave a great assessment of the school without saying anything negative about other groups. You, on the other hand, could not provide a well-thought-out comment without attacking unnecessarily.

As a SSSAS parent who does not have a federal job, I now know more about federal jobs than I ever have growing up in this area. The majority of parents seem to be Fed households, so you will not get away from some form of discussion even it if isn't directly political and more in subert comments on the current job situation.

On the flip side, as an SSSAS parent who is a federal contractor, I don’t know exactly where any of my parent friends work and don’t recall ever mentioning where I work to them. Like anything, I think the experience will vary by group and also by what you put into it.

"entitled wealthy white families are met with resistance and a measured response" - so this is not negative? Thanks for proving my double standard comment.

I know exactly who wrote this as this seems exactly like her Tik Toks. I am sure you’re a nice person, but your virtual signaling, esp on Tik Tok, is so over the top. Calm down. Also as someone else pointed out did you not know the previous LS head? It was a black woman and before that a Jewish man. I think these woke battles at school are all in your head. Good luck to you.

+1. Some people are just constantly triggered by everything though. Especially people who use the term “woke” unironically.
