[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In theory, what PP's are saying about 64 Beauvoir admits driving the thread traffic sounds plausible, but in reality that is just a theory and it does not play out in real life.

Why ? In real life, not that many people applying to Private school even read DCUM. The accepted families, less so.

In real life, yes, Beauvoir has 64 spots for Pre-K, but in my personal experience of prior years most of those spots go to sibs,alums,teachers kids and "high priority candidates" These people have made up their mind long ago. For some, shortly after their children were born. Beauvoir has many high profile families. These are not the kid of people to come on DCUM and publicly wring their hands about what do we, "the people" think about the vibe at Beauvoir? They are grown ups. Their child has a school . They're done. It was most likely not even a "process" for them it was a phone call. Done. Over. Next.

In DC's class of 64 kids a few years ago, about 5 families had absolutely no connection to the school. Not a lot of deliberating going on there. So, why 3 or 4 Beauvoir threads ?

Someone has Beauvoir on the brain, but its unlikely the admitted families.

So, no, I don't believe all of these threads which start off with something gossipy as a prompt like," so, parent welcomes are over, what were your impressions ?" are anything more than pot stirring, inuendo , such as the veiled references to "the culture" at Cathedral schools "later on". There is a Christian Cathedral attached to these schools. When PP's make comments like " the culture" at the school later on "may not be a good one for your family", make no mistake, that is inuendo for mocking a whole host of Christian religions. Its a very ugly tactic. THe Episcopal church is egalitarian and universal in its acceptance of all faiths, it deserves better than that.[/quote]
