[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easy to spot the Mater Dei/Prep/Gonzaga parents.

1.  Absolute nightmares at sporting events

2.  Cares everything about the HS bumper sticker
  Couldn't care less where the kid goes to college[/quote]

Had two sons who attended different private schools in the DMV.  Both competed against Prep in sports.  When I went to watch games or meets at Prep on school day afternoons or evenings, I was always amazed that the rest room was trashed--the one in the lobby of the building with the bookstore.  Paper towels and other litter thrown all over the floor, a total mess.  And, it was consistent.  I never saw a mess like that at my sons' schools, nor at any other school I visited.  Again, this was consistent, and i was always surprised that the Administration let it go on.  Would not have happened when I was in high school, either.  Maybe seems like a trivial thing to some people, but I will forever think of Prep as a place where students feel entitled and the Administration seems to do nothing about that.

I also attended one game at Prep where a kid was in the announcer's booth all game taunting Prep's opponent and its fans with snarky comments, while Prep was getting it handed to them on the field (which was poetic justice).  I knew kids on both teams, but was pulling for the visitors after about 10 minutes of enduring the classless dribble coming over the loud speakers.  I was dumbfounded that I did not see someone in the Administration march up to the booth, turn off the mic and haul out the kid by his ear.  Really poor form.

I did not have the same experiences with Gonzaga.  They brought the fan base for sure and they have some of the best school spirit in the DMV.  I never saw the issues I saw with Prep.

On Mater Dei, I did watch one of my sons play them in middle school basketball, and they had three kids who looked 25 years old.  They might have been!  [/quote]
