[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our families have attended THE High School for over 150 years. It educates the whole person. Academics, honor, sports, etc. [b]We plan to pay for our grandchildren to attend.[/b] St. Grottlesex types may look down on Southern schools such as EHS but our families have competed with their types successfully for years. AND we have excellent manners.[/quote]

That's enough right there to make me run the other way. (And I'm from Charleston, dahhhling...)

Classmates clinging to the coattails of granddaddy's family money -- probably because their own parents partied so hard through school that they flunked out and obviously can't make it now on their own -- is not the kind of kids I want my sons around.[/quote]

Not the OP, but I don't understand why people have to be so nasty to this poster. Everyone comes on here to get some type of insight. No need to insult someone. My husband went to Episcopal and is very successful. Together we do well enough to pay for private school tuition ourselves, but his parents are extremely wealthy and insisted on paying for their grandchildren's education because it literally is a drop in the bucket for them. So don't hate on others just b/c of their background or that the grandparents are paying tuition. I can speak for ourselves, we are very humble and try to be as modest as possible, never throw it in anyone's face. Geez, the way people on here trash wealthy people is ridiculous. How would you feel if we had a blog where we made fun of middle class people?  [/quote]

Traditions are fine to pass on if you're black or Jewish, but if you use the word "tradition" on DCUM in combination with the words "southern" or "Christian," you will immediately get attacked and ridiculed.  [/quote]

Blah blah blah.  Go feel sorry for yourself somewhere where people care.[/quote]
