[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between Saint Ann's and Avenues for Kindergarten, which would you choose and why? [/quote]

Neither. Do you have another option? Two very different places. All things being equal, if you are in Brooklyn, St. Ann's. If in Manhattan, Avenues. Both are kind of cultish in very different ways.[/quote]

"Neither" - what an unhelpful response.  [/quote]

Perhaps they had other options. I would do a decent public over those. Plenty of time to move to a good zone.[/quote]

Saint Ann's is one of the best schools in NYC.  Also interested in how you know anything about two different schools in different neighborhoods are when you clearly didn't send your kids there.[/quote]

I know people at both schools. Knowing about both of these schools is far from a stretch - anyone who is remotely knowledgeable about NYC private schools knows well about both of them.

St. Ann's is wackadoodle progressive (and I say this as a liberal Democrat). Like virtue signaling wokeness progressive. Plus have you read at all about the scandal there? No thanks. They do have pretty great exmissions - I will admit that. But I would not want to mix with that insufferable crowd. Go to Packer if you want to be in Brooklyn.

Avenues is less bad but not my cup of tea. They try way too hard.[/quote]

Here we go with "woke" again.  Anyone who uses that word in the MAGA pejorative way immediately loses all credibility.[/quote]

As a moderate Democrat, it is the virtue signalling woke folks like at St. Ann's who drive me nuts as they provide fodder to Fox News to empower the idiot MAGA people. And then you start calling people like me who are actually a lot closer politically to you than the vast majority of America by awful names, including MAGA and Republican. Go spend some time beyond a 20 mile radius of NYC and see how the real world lives. Then start to pick your spots. I'm not saying give in to Trump and his buffoons. But be smarter about the causes you are fighting for.

But I digress.[/quote]

You’re not digressing; you’re continuing to be an a-hole (that’s an awful name that actually appears to fit you; happy with that one?).  And I said you’re using “woke” in the maga way (which is accurate), not that you’re maga.  Though you do seem to share a lot in common with them in that you both act like jerks.  I’m done with you now, carry on. [/quote]

You're kind of proving my point about St. Ann's people. Unwilling to compromise. Unable to take criticism. Think they know all. So insufferable. Not everyone there is like that - I'm not dumb enough to paint with that broad of a brush, unlike so many others here. But it is a prevalent attitude there. Read the articles about the scandal - part of the cause was they were going overboard.

Lots of other great schools in the city that will better prepare your kid for the real world. And trust me, most of them are based on fundamental Democrat values. Your kid will be fine.

Let's move on. Good luck to everyone awaiting decisions and/or making decisions! I know it is a stressful time. Lots of great options out there.[/quote]
