[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love this thread.  I don't know what's better, desperation of the OP, the snark in response, other posters chiming in with, "you just don't understaaaaaand!!" - it's all fantastic.

It makes the DC private school forum look positively sane and well-adjusted by comparison.  And that's no easy feat.  [/quote]

I would never be snarky with a parent who is fighting for what’s best for their child, so long as it doesn’t disparage other children or directly affect them beyond what is already a zero sum game. Sorry your child didn’t have an advocate in you. [/quote]

It's awesome that you keep demonstrating the lunacy.  "What's best for their child" - these kids are all born on third, have a big lead, and will all be more than fine - but parents are in despair because their first choice elementary school put them on the wait list, and they may have to attend another one that is just as good.

As for as the passive aggressive comment at the end, that was pretty lame.  Surely you can do better?  Then again, it's entirely possible you can't, so I guess I should be more charitable.  [/quote]

Way to sugarcoat and paint in broad brushstrokes. Plenty of posters here apply for financial aid or aren’t rich. You sound bitter.

It isn’t lame. If you want to get nasty with parents because they want an optimal outcome for their child to thrive, you probably don’t care much for your own children (if you have any, some cat ladies post here, maybe you’re the “cool aunt” who drinks too much)[/quote]

Yeah, I'm sure the parents from NYC posting on applying to TT elementary schools, hiring consultants, and acting like overall entitled D-bags are all financial aid recipients.  Absolutely.

But much more hilariously, "Way to [b]sugarcoat [/b]. . .?"

You are sugarcoating their reality. Living in the city is hard. Not everyone is rich. Go use the search bar for the NYC forum and type in financial aid. You’re gross and incurious. Glad you can’t send your children to school with ours. [/quote]
