[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived in Waynewood and could not believe how ridiculously snooty people were there.   The school was run like a private school, and if you were not in the "right" pack of people you and your child were shafted.    If you don't live exactly the same way the WW families do, then be prepared for social Siberia.[/quote]

For some reason, there are 1-2 posters who have an ax to grind re: WW.  Listen, there are rude/snotty people everywhere.  Waynewood isn't immune to these people.  But you make it sound like these people comprise the bulk of the people in WW and that just isn't true.  My biggest criticism of WW is the lack of diversity.  I just recently moved to WW, and admit that posters like the one quoted scared me a little, but I've found nothing but really nice, down to earth people.  People aren't overly competitive and certainly not snobby.  I'm a working mom and think there is a pretty good mix of both at the school - working moms and SAHMs.  Though I do think the PTA is a bit much and somewhat oblivious about scheduling things so that working parents can attend/volunteer, etc., but I doubt that is unique to WW.

All in all, yes, there are some "snooty" people, but they aren't the majority or even a large minority.  They are few and far between.  Otherwise, it is a great community with lots to do, affordable houses and a good school.[/quote]
