[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people they choose are the people who actually show-up to meetings and take an interest in the school.  Truthfully, most parents rarely show their face around their DC’s school.

I attend many events and most parents, particularly fathers, are complete strangers.  Many parents are extreme Type A and cannot fathom serving on any committee unless they’re in complete control.  Lawyers are the absolute worst.  [/quote]

I'm a little surprised by how many lawyer parents there are honestly. Biglaw partners make good money but are not like execs or old money on the donor front and there are many other (not as well compensated) lawyer roles represented too. As a lawyer myself, I know we can be higher maintenance than others in a service industry so it is a little surprising the schools put up with it. I guess with so many in DC, they don't have as much of a choice. The lawyer parent population is much bigger here than where we came from in the Bay Area.   [/quote]
