[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are #2 for SWS for 1st grade - any chance?  Our current plan is Watkins after our year at Peabody. 
Got into Lee Montessori for Pre K 3 for our younger child. Not expecting placement elsewhere. [/quote]

Be warned, SWS has a dress code....for moms. Do you own 12 pairs of yoga pants? [/quote]

I’m an SWS mom and I’m sincerely perplexed by this comment.  Is that an assertion that SWS has lots of SAHMs?  Anyway, I don’t own yoga pants, don’t do yoga, and wear a suit to drop off.  And I’m aware of lots of moms like me.  [/quote]

First off, have a cocktail and relax for a second. Second, do you happen to be visually impaired? If you are perplexed by this comment then you aren't paying attention. Yes, SWS has a large cohort of SAHMs. And yes, it skews whiter and higher SES. Embrace it you silly bird. [/quote]

Ah, what a lovely dose of sexism mixed with putting down people who are differently-abled. I don't know if it's worse if the comment was written by a man or a woman, though "have a cocktail," "relax," and "silly bird" are all clues it was written by a man.[/quote]

My kids go to well regarded charter. I pick up kids around 5:30 pm. Last time I counted (cause this has become a thing for me), 7 out the 10 moms were wearing spandex. HOW?!!

This is silly, but i was choking back tears last week. I don’t understand how so many people can afford to live in DC without working ALL the time. Or work the kind of jobs that allow you to wear Athleta in the afternoon? My husband and I consider ourselves to be privileged. Degrees from good schools helped us land well paying jobs. But, we show up fried, stressed and in pant suits everyday. I’m not hating on “yoga moms”. I honestly want to know how so many DC public school moms I can live in this city without full-time jobs -  especially when their partners have middle class jobs (which is the case for most of the parents at our school). Is it family money? Living an insanely frugal lifestyle? Taking on debt?

Options 1 and 3 would make me feel a little better. Option 2 would make me question my priorities. [/quote]

It is done by working from home two days a week, in my case.[/quote]
