[quote=Anonymous]I have a different impression.  Mine is more that it has become a status symbol of some kind.  I am not sure why. Maybe because it is not public and not parochial and yet also not "elite" prep private.  It strikes me over and over that it is the "private" school picked by certain types of people--often those who fancy themselves openminded and freethinking (like people who want to be hipsters but are more like poseurs--like most of Del Ray).  They won't just pick a straight up private like Holton, Potomac, G Prep, NCS, St. Albans--because those are for elitists.  To some extent that is true but the people who eschew traditional privates and then turn around and spend the same price (can be as much!) to send their kid to montessori just strike me as elitist too.  But they act like they aren't because they get in their hybrid and eat organic and shop at the local market. Blah blah.  Not a cult.  A status symbol.  Kind of like Toms.  Why did everyone have them?  Not for the good looks for sure.  Status.[/quote]
