[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may win for the most annoyingly obnoxious poster ever.  Your first post is pure rhetoric; there is absolutely no content, and the question is unanswerable.  The follow-up just makes you look like an insufferable asshole.[/quote]

The question isn't rhetorical. Many parents on this site ,"private school forum" are on here because we are trying to find out things about a school that we may be considering applying to for our DC. Admissions directors will share their perspective of a school,but personally I think that what a parent who has had their child in the school for 12 years has to say is invaluable. So I posed the question about something that matters to me: not "what percentage of graduate from X school go on to Ivy or top 25 school is US according to what some magazine has researched, a subject which gets a lot of air time on this forum ,BTW,but rather at what schools did parents feel that their teens were encouraged by the atmosphere of the school to really develop and get a sense of themselves.  I would also welcome feedback from HS Seniors as to how well they feel that they are prepared to choose a coarse of study in college and what experiences in their school years led them to make that discovery. I am not soliciting bashing of a school. I'm more hoping to hear positive comments about a given school in the following list : Sidwell,Maret,GDS, Cathedral Schools. Thanks for staying positive.[/quote]

As long as my child learns to write better than you, I will be happy.  This overwritten and unedited dribble is just obnoxious.  Edit all your posts to 1/3 of what you originally write and you might get the answers you want, and you will be less annoying.[/quote]

I guess you have no response to the content of my question. I've noticed that, in this forum, when someone hits a nerve with a question people often attack say a grammatical error in the post rather than confront the content with their point of view. Doesn't anyone else in this town think that it is a damn shame that after 14 years and $400,000 spent all you get out is a someone who, though almost 21 years old, is more concerned with what people will think of them for their college choice than what they are actually interested in.?? Any one? I think it is pathetic and would like to avoid sending DD to a school that turns out same. Perhaps it is just one kid? If so, can someone please post what role they think their DC's school or teachers played helping their DC find of a field of study that their young adult child now wants to pursue in college.[/quote]
