You're nuts and don't know what you're talking about. |
| Anybody who actually cares about Simpsons or CC is in dire need of a life. |
Including yourself given you took the time to respond to this thread. |
| I am not nuts, I am jewish and I know EXACTLY what I am talking about -- so if you haven't been discriminated against by Mrs. S that's great for you but stop calling those of us that don't like her one bit crazy. the only crazy people are those that believe in this day and age that she is somehow still relevant. |
| In response to that other thread asking where public school kids can learn to ballroom dance, Capitol Cotillion is a program open to all. It's great. I waltzed with DS at a relative's wedding just last weekend. It was wonderful. I was told by more than one man that they wished their moms had sent them to ballroom classes at a young age. |
| Has anyone sent their kids to the Capital Cotillion off-shoot dining etiquette classes? Are they worth it? |
| Why anyone would give this anti-semite the time of day, let alone money, is beyond me. |
What's wrong with wanting your child to learn how to dance at an early age, having basic manners reinforced in a social setting (i.e., not just mother telling you the do's and don'ts), and making new friends. |
| I know the Cathedral Schools and St. Pat's participate heavily in Capitol Cotillion. What about other of the Big Privates, like GDS or Maret? |
There are actually quite a few Maret kids there -- you can usually spot the boys because they seem so uncomfortable in their blazers. But as far as I can tell, they're all nice kids. GDS on the other hand? I suspect you'd be ostracized or scorned by the admin. and most other families if you enrolled your GDS child at such a thing as Cotillion. |
A lot of Sidwell kids attend during fifth and sixth grade, but not after that. |
| Some Landon boys were there last Friday. I know b/c one of the had words with my son (STA student). |
| please let this asinine thread die. |
Not a single one of the Jewish children in my DC's class at a Cathedral school (where I would guess about a third of the kids went to Mrs. Simpson's) was invited to participate. I would be shocked if (1) there are "many" Jewish children, and (2) Mrs. Simpson knows they're Jewish (though this is what her spies at the various schools are supposed to tell her). Does anyone know of Mrs. Simpson's is still under the consent decree that they entered when they were sued for discrimination? |
From what I've observed firsthand and heard about through my DC's she is equal opportunity obnoxious. Even to those kids of WASP parents who are somebody. |
