[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone respond to the PP who asked what being "in" with the principal "gets" them?

As someone who is IB for janney (but doesn't get attend) this thread is really gross. Like a lot of ppl who wanted their kids to go private but are instead creating that feeling of exclusivity at a DCPS?[/quote]

My kids don't go to Janney, but we know quite a few Janney families.  I do get  a weird HS vibe when I hear the moms talk about each other, but my guess is that 'tho the popular moms may get a lot more face time with the principal, it means nothing.  I used to be a SAHM and had lots of time to volunteer in our kids' school, so I knew the principal too.  At our school, this would get you no special treatment whatsoever, which is as it should be IMHO.  After I went back to work (p/t), I'd hear other WOHM complain that the SAHMs' kids got all kinds of advantages, but nobody could ever cite a single example.  What you do get if you volunteer a lot is information, which might be helpful to your kids, but that's not the same thing as preferential treatment.   [/quote]
