[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve always volunteered at my DC’s open house/admissions events - fascinating exercise in the human condition and posturing.

I hate to generalize but often times (not every time) the logo-NASCAR outfits (aka I’m going to wear every piece of branded luxury item I have) align with cold, standoffish behavior towards a fellow parent (me) or the administrator both of whom are just trying to be of help, tour them around a school and have pleasant conversation.

Which I always think is a weird play when you’re trying to get your child into a highly competitive school but ok :shrug:

I could have written this! I also always laugh at the standoffish people attending open houses who are cold and rude to the parents (who have been asked to help at these events) and then turn on the fake charm as soon as they see an administrator or admissions person! Don’t they realize everyone talks and the school is smart enough to see right through this? 
If you want a true feeling for what actual families are like, attend some sporting events, the fall festival, musical, etc. [/quote]
