Famous doesn't mean rich.

And your point?

The point is even Ted Bundy went to school.

I guarantee she’s able to but not tacky enough to actually answer it.

She should be classy enough to be prepared for the tacky questions. And the answer and out school is ‘yes’. I’m pretty sure the HOS would mention one or two and bush it off with ‘they’re all listed in Wikipedia, I think’.

So are you classy enough to name your child’s school and its famous alums?

Sidwell. Google it.

So you don’t know.

Yes, definitely is the response of a Sidwell parent.

That they won't necessarily make large donations, as the pp I responded to asserted.

I’m famous. But I’m not going to say who I am.

Weird pivot. I'm saying yes we have famous alumni and they make large donations that are public so its no secret.

That is a super tacky question, OP. But I’ve noticed a lot of DC privates don’t have very many famous alums on their Wikipedia pages. I think there are just so many secular private schools in the area. Whereas in Chicago, there are three main ones.

Did you actually ask this question? Please tell me you did not use the term "famous?"

Agree. Cringe...I hope for their sake that this person is trolling. If not, check Wikipedia.
