Once again a private school thread started by a public school parent and dominated by other public school parents.

+1. The private school forum is being overrun by public school parents. If they’re so happy with their choices, why are they commenting on every thread over here?!?
I never go slumming (I mean I don’t bother posting) in the public school forum.

What are the indicators that this is a public school parent?

Much more likely to be a private school 15 yr old killing time by pressing your buttons.

I take 240/year deathly seriously. Will not look below SFS, NCS, STA, GDS.

Maybe for the peer group, Episcopal and Potomac. Forget anything else.

No Catholics b/c brainwashing.

You can look at the pinned topic that covers this but most people I have met consider the Big 3 to be Sidwell/GDS/The Cathedral Schools.

I love how you snuck Holton in there

I certainly didn't "sneak" it in there. Based on what I know, I think Holton is right up there with these other schools.

Happily married just in case you can’t spell bigamist, and not bigoted either.

Look up the skip over school trend which might accelerate. Quelle 😳

You can’t possibly believe it’s ok to $ the same for SFS/NCS/STA/(GDS reluctantly) as the rest. A decade ago it was some change plus; now it’s USC rates. Come on!

Wait, you actually talk with people about the “Big 3” irl? You actually spend time thinking about it and discuss it out loud?

Wow.

And she did sneak it in. Quietly boosting a fine but just not a top school. She did it somewhere else recently, too.

Yes. You did. Just admit it.
