[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm writing this for all of us who don't have children at GDS because we didn't want to have children at GDS. Whose children didn't apply to Harvard because, honestly, we've known more than a few Harvard people and they're all kind of a drag.

I was a new mom in New York City just in time for urbanbaby.com, and if you don't know what that is, well. You're poorer for your ignorance. I read about stroller wars, and preschool applications, and Gifted and Talented testing, debates about the merits 29 over 312, testing into Hunter, whether Nest or Anderson was better--and if TAG was acceptable at all--but never in all of my days there did I see parents that were so status obsessed (even at Dalton) that they stalked their kids' classmates Instagrams and then ran to post here and discuss breathlessly, endlessly, without saying anything, if Larlo and Larlx only got in because of hooks, or athletics, or if their "crop" was better than last year's crop... I mean what the ever-living hell? These are children. They are not harvested, or plucked. And at the end of the day it's fairly gauche.

Of course what else could we expect from the DMV. [/quote]

Put the wine glass down and go to bed, Susan.

The PP’s got a superior, condescending attitude but she’s also right about the way people here are talking about kids. It’s ridiculous.

You can go back to your mimosa, dear.

I think they are butt hurt from last year. Lol

That’s why the need to grossly “truly, truly, amazing”” every 5 minutes.

Our HS is big on humility so you never seen the kind of boasting like this (oh and they did so much better than GDS the last few years—not even a Big 3 or 5 or whatever).[/quote]

It’s not just GDS. It’s the whole private school forum.

And you just boasted.

If it was boasting, she would have named the school.  The point is : thus us a wealthy area with the highest population of 4-year grads and grad degrees in the US.  These outcomes are seen all over the DMV.[/quote]
