Who gives a f**k. Go start another thread if you want. It has nothing to do with this thread.

Who are you talking to?

Whoever cares about what happened with some food at a STA football game. Nobody cares much about that.

Clearly not the parents of the poorly mannered Jackson Reed kids.

Again…go create another thread if you want. Apparently you are so upset.

Bad behavior is not income dependent but there is usually some connection.

I have never met or known a wealthy person who sends their kids to JR. Would be a big surprise to me. (30 year DC resident with 5 kids.).

99% of us have zero idea what you are talking about. 99% don’t care either.

Not like a JR football game is an event.

What’s the definition of wealthy? Where do you live exactly?

Certainly at some level of wealth and if you live in Mass Heights, then I am sure you are correct.

Why are you lurking here if this is the case?

You don’t have to care but the issue is that it’s representative of many of the kids that go to JR. No manners, rowdy, disruptive, and like you, they also DGAF about the way they act or school. What is worst is how their behaviors impact the minority of kids there who actually want to learn. It’s sad.

No wonder

Wealthy by the average DC salary sure, but not technically.

As always, definitions matter. 95th percentile household income in DC is something like 425k. Many families at JR are at and above that range. So if you define wealth as top 5% in DC, there’s lots of wealth at JR.

Which is not the same as saying that it’s not an extremely socioeconomically diverse school—it is! But I’m not sure there’s evidence to support the assertion that people who can afford private but choose JR are “exceptions.”

This. We’re comfortably above that income level, currently paying full freight for college for our one kid out of monthly income with money left over for things like travel and brokerage fund contributions (after maxing retirement), and our son was the one of the least wealthy of his immediate friend group. They weren’t billionaires, but they were $2.5M beach house kinda wealthy.

If money is covered please work on the manners. Saw first hand a ton of Jackson Reed act like spoiled children this weekend.

What happened, o'anonymous vague poster. And are you sure the unmannerly behavior was primarily wealthy kids?

I saw what they were wearing as they helped themselves to food and drinks not meant for them and they never asked nor said thank you. The other moms and I were very surprised.

Then why didn’t you do something about it instead of standing there like a scared little statue? Guess money can’t buy you a spine.

We go to church up there so we’ve run into a few. Very broadly speaking they have a philosophical commitment to public schools, and- this is more a denomination selection thing than anything else- they’re from the Midwest.

I see you have discovered teenage boys in a group over 10 people strong.

Hope someone got a picture to put next to “cripple fight” in the dictionary.

I was immediately shocked into disbelief and it did cause me to act like a statue so that is on me. It did give me a chance to think, however, and I realized that any comment about them going back to their part of the stands would have been unheeded, (those kids weren’t getting manners at the sound of my voice) and they all probably would have complained about how “unfair” it was that someone else got something they didn’t.
