[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, responding as a father here, I GURANATEE that your son will be the subject of jokes and ridicule by his friends.  Please please please dont do this to your boy.  This is entirely unncessary and he does not need this kind of thing to deal with at school.  I think it may be fine for girls but his male friends will, I guranatee, go to town on him.  I know, because I and my friends did this to these kids all day long when I was at an independent school here (which will be unnamed).  Why do you want to make your son th eoutcast/loser of his class?  You know how there is always those couple of kids in every class that is somewhat "different" and "has no friends," always playing by himself?  Well, that is the text book Cotillion or Mrs. Simpson's boy.  All you moms out there, you need to speak with your husbands and brothers about this.  Your son will become the butt of offensive and homophobic teasing.  GUARANTEED!  I saw it happen in my generation and that of my kids.  Get a male perspective!  Fast!!!!  [/quote]

There is a large St. Albans School contingent at Capitol Cotillion.  Those boys, as far as I can tell, are all with the "in crowd."  I think they go there because they like seeing their old Beauvoir girl classmates (although they will strongly deny it) and they like to interact with girls in general (which they will deny even more strongly), which, much as STA has to offer, interactions with girls is limited to spotting one at a distance on the Close.[/quote]
