[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t say anything about the kids, but you want that to be true to make yourself feel better about going after my character and personality and eventually, my own kid. It’s part of internet dialogue to be bullied by someone, so I have just accepted it and moved on rather than defend myself. I don’t really want or need empathy — only a fool would look for that from this space.

I wanted to give people fair warning because it took me a long time to understand what was going on, and I put up with too much for too long. I may have said something about things I noticed about the kids’ behavior on the whole (their competitiveness with each other, their obsession with material goods and who has what, the college fixation) which I linked to both the school and parent culture. It’s okay to judge a school and how it’s doing by their students on metrics other than their Ivy League stats. People recognize the uniform and when they see a bunch of kids behaving rudely and entitled,  they are going to associate it with that school. I think being rude and entitled is a bad way to go through life and doesn’t lead to success. I like that kids when we first arrived, adored the older generation of upper schoolers now gone - there has been a shift, and it’s okay to note that. Part of what you are paying for is the cultivation of your kid, so I think it’s fair to note how kids behave. The world will.[/quote]
