The hostility is toward a particular poster who claims to be the mother of a PG kid, whose kid apparently never went to a private, and whose MO is to insist that sending a gifted kid to a private school is to doom said kid to a life of intellectual mediocrity.  Lots of the hostility she has faced has been from posters who have gifted kids in privates and who point out that their kids are getting excellent educations. [/quote]

To be fair, she seems to think very little of magnets, either. She said the local blog on a PG kid in the Takoma magnet gave a good idea of what PG kids face in MoCo. I was the poster who said my magnet kid liked the teachers who were trashed in the blog, plus I wouldn't have a problem with the science teacher telling my kid not to read novels in class, or with another teacher marking my kid down for forgetting to bring in an assignment, and I certainly wouldn't convene a meeting with said teachers and the magnet director over it, like the blogger did. But my point is, if PP likes this blog, then she must share at least some of the blog's really negative attitude toward magnets.[/quote]
