[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, too, got screamed at and "outed" (???????? there was nothing to "out" me for) as a past parent noting that the school is situation in an Eruv so there are a number of Jewish students.  If you happen to hit the school at age 12 your son or daughter will spend a lot of weekends going to bar and bat mitzvahs.  After ten of these , we finally had to tell DS that there just could be no more unless it was a close close friend because they were so disruptive on the weekends, taking up Sat morning, Sat night, lots of driving, then sleep schedules were all wacked out Sunday morning.  We had a second home we couldn't visit that entire year because of the mitzvahs.  Now I'll be screamed at again or "outed" (so bizarre) or called anti-semitic (just go try since I'm Jewish).[/quote]

Yes, this is a very important reason to avoid Mclean.  The busy social schedule will prevent you from spending enough time at your second home.

OK, PP, here's a test.  How many of the "number of Jewish students" are ultra-orthodox?  Because if they are Jewish but not ultra orthodox they wouldn't care about the Eruv.  I'm sure there are ultra orthodox students there but I can't for the life of me think of any in my DS' class.

There is this one thing you can do if your child gets invited to too many bar/bat mitzvahs --  you say no.  Its really truly OK to decline a social invitation.

The idea that this is your criticism of the school -- OMG , we can't go to our other house because of all the Jews (and I don't care that you are as well, its really a ridiculous thing to react to) --- then i am so glad you left.[/quote]
