[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't have them on our cars because I drive too fast and DH's is definitely downscale.  My marketing sense (not an expert) is we wouldn't attract paying parents of bright children. I notice more stickers in Montgomery Cty than I do in DC, and more Catholic (and L for Landon) than Big 3 and others. I guess I never thought a GDS or Holton Arms, or a purple G or SJC, was snobby.  Just free advertising for a school they are proud to be part of.

For awhile I couldn't figure out what AHC (Academy of the Holy Cross in Kensington) meant. I googled the initials while stopped behind a nice SUV and my iPhone popped up American Horse Council.  For a few weeks I though AHC meant the driver loves horses.[/quote]

Hah. You nailed it. And the reason why so many Montgomery Cty cars have stickers is the social climbing thing. [/quote]

Oh give me a break.  I have three kids in three different schools (1 public and 2 private) and I have stickers for all three - the kids love them.  Definitely a community thing, not a social climbing thing.  (Yeah, my minivan is soooo cool).  DH doesn't have any stickers, since I am the family bus driver and the kids are usually in my car.  BTW - grew up in upper NW DC and I know from social climbing, trust me.  Where I live (Kensington) is way more laid back than upper NW. [/quote]
