What percentage of St. Albans mom work? It seems like once women hit their mid-30's at all the area private schools. many choose to stay home. That's always surprising to me considering how many extremely well educated and liberal moms are at these schools. |
Well educated liberal moms are supposed to work until they die? I didn't know that. |
A surprising number do not. I'd say 50%?
There's a lot of money at the Cathedral schools. Many men who are at the top of their (elite) professional careers. (Many women too but many families tend to have one worker when they start making stratospheric wages). We're a two income, professional class family each making low 6 figures and I feel like we're in a tiny minority. |
If they want to practice what they preach... |
Well your premise is in incorrect. St. Albans is not mostly liberal moms. It is mostly republicans in my two sons grades. The administration and Cathedral may be more liberal leaning but the current parents and boys are not. NCS, Sidwell, Holton, and GDS are where you will find more liberal moms. |
Agree with this as well. It is a very conservative student (family) body. NCS is different--much more liberal. STA is very, very republican, including Trump republican. It has been an eye opener to us. |
I've never understand why both parents choose to work full time in soulless work when only one has to. Greed is the only explanation I can come up with. |
If this is true, then it makes sense that they would be more likely to prescribe to more traditional gender roles than some other schools. |
|
This is DC no one is truly that conservative and STA parent body is still predominately liberal. I know lots of liberal stay at home moms. They are the first to espouse feminism and ultimately end up dropping out of the work force. |

Hmmmm, kind of like Megan Markle. |

AMEN. |
Oh, the irony. |
