[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a parent at another private in the area.  Last week I was in the Starbucks in Potomac village with my middle school daughter.  In line in front of us were 2 bullis girls, probably 4th grade with a nanny.  2 girls behind us in 7th grade from bullis were chatting away about who was wearing what etc to an upcoming event.  As we were all waiting for our drinks the 4th grade girls started chatting with the 7th grade girls.  The entire conversation was about how much their fake nails cost, how long they would last, how much was their phone cases and where they could get one just like that.  My daughter was disgusted that kids her age would only talk about monetary value of possessions. The best one was from 7th grader to 4th grader---you might want to watch the whipped cream on your frap. When you get older you are going to want to have it with no whip to save on the calories.

Yes at Sidwell GDS Maret or Cathedral schools they wouldn't be caught dead at a Starbucks in Potomac.  God forbid your kids have to go to school in the suburbs!   We parents at big 5 would rather our children be snubbed by kids who summer in the vineyard or ACK, snubbed by kids who spend their free time at the Chevy Chase Club.   We would prefer our kids to be stressed out and depressed all four years of high school so they can go to Williams or Davidson then come live at home and in work unpaid internships or work for Headfirst or make sandwiches at Jetties while they lounge at the pool at Chevy.    They have no jobs and no prospects but at least they didn't go to Bullis![/quote]
