[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP. I'm not sure why the number is 3 when everyone only seems to agree on 2. Why not call it "the big two" instead since Sidwell and Beauvoir/NCS/StA are always on the "big three" lists with [insert name of other school here]?[/quote] We chose Potomac over Sidwell and Beauvoir so our top 2 is obviously different than your claim of "everyone" above. [/quote] I don't know that that's true. To me "big" isn't a complement, or an insult. It's a recognition that certain schools are more talked about and more "glitzy" than others. Similarly I'd describe the Jonas Brothers as "bigger" than Ladysmith Black Mambazo (naming a group I've seen in concert recently) doesn't mean that I'd want them on my IPOD. If money and logistics weren't issues, I think my ideal school for my kid would be Sandy Spring Friends, but I wouldn't argue that it's "bigger" than Sidwell. Maybe that it SHOULD be, but not that it is.[/quote]
