[quote=Anonymous]Based on my experience and chats with other parents, I have come to the conclusion that Capital Cotillion is inclusive and Mrs. Simpsons is NOT.  But ofcourse the invites are linked to your child being a student at a private school, but some public school children are invited.  My children attended Capital Cotillion this year and it was wonderful.  To those who argue that this makes the child feel superior.  OK that's possible, but I'd argue that is more likely to happen where the parents ALREADY display an attitude of superiority, which the kids then get from the parent.  As for us, my kids simply see it as another actitivity that we have signed them up for...I'd imagine many kids see it that way.  My experience with BOTH of these cotillions goes as follows:  One of my kids attends a school where Mrs. Simpsons is the cotillion for those who participate in such.  My child is well liked, invited to playdates, parties, etc. with the classmates who attend Mrs. Simpsons.  Unfortunately, my child did not receive an invite from Mrs. Simpsons.  Again, the kids at this school get invited to Mrs. Simpsons not Capital Cotillion (mostly due to location I think).  Not sure why no invite, but it didn't help when I learned that Mrs. Simpsons has had issues with being inclusive of minorities.  My other child attends school where kids attend Capital Cotillion.  Child received invite and Capital Cotillion was happy to extend child who attends other school (who was not invited to Mrs. Simpsons) a personal invite.  Not trying to make nasty accusations, just sharing my experience...we prefer Capital Cotillion.[/quote]
