[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had experience with parents at all of the Big 3 Schools, having had children at several and friends at all of them.  In my opinion - which I will not extrapolate to be a generalization or negative commentary about any of these parent communities - the GDS parents I know and/or have interacted with tend to be some of the more [b]approachable, friendly, and relaxed[/b] people I have met in my long time in Washington, DC.  This has been true even of the parents who are among the power players in this town.  I find the GDS parents I know to be a community of [b]very little pretense or overt status competition[/b], and a lot of camaraderie.[/quote]

Why don't they act that way when posting on DCUM?[/quote]

In my experience the posters from ANY school on these threads are not really representative of the general parent population at those schools.  I love DCUM, but take what you read here with a grain of salt.[/quote]

Meaning the GDS parents who post here are more competitive and combative than the norm you see at the school?[/quote]

Meaning that ALL PRIVATE SCHOOLS' parents who post here are more competitive and combative than the norm you are at ANY PRIVATE SCHOOL.  Again, I love DCUM, but its posters (myself included) are not exactly a representative population of these private schools.[/quote]
