[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny story: I'm an AA mother who took my DD in for an interview. I was sitting at a table with two other mothers. They looked me up and down, then continued their whispered discussion about the school, and how they hoped their daughters would be able to go to Holton.

One of the school staff who had been there forever came in the room. "Hi, Ms. G we are so happy that your daughter is applying to PDS. How is your other daughter? Is she still at Holton? And I remember your sister, how is she doing? "

The ladies at the table had their mouths hanging open. I would agree that there is a mean mom element at the school.

That's unfortunate - I didn't have that experience at all. We're AA, not from the area, and are in the middle of our first year at PDS. Everyone is pretty damn nice. There are probably 2 moms who are not my cup of tea, but I'm usually the one who looks down at them because I find them to be insipid. Oh and there's one mom who is also new and is a "one-upper" about her kid. She keeps introducing herself to me (we've met at least a half dozen times) and tells everyone that her son was apparently solving complex equations at 2 years old. :eyeroll:

OMG. I totally know who that is! Kindergarten mom! LOL

The moms are fabulous so please ignore that sexist poster who said they are snotty. The biggest problem at PFS is that it has a mean secretary who is so rude and judge mental it’s impossibke to ask a question without getting a condescending remark and the total lack of warmth that seems to have been sucked out of the school two years ago with the arrival of the self-obsessed director. I mean he must demand that his picture is included in every post on the school. The former director was so much more modest and child friendly and less self-promoting. My son can’t stabd him and says it’s tiral misery whenever he substitutes for an absent teacher.

Pros of the school include good teachers though some grades are hit or miss and a nice parent and student population. Cons I mentioned. And having to attend two freaking Beako every month. Why wouldn’t they have all siblings have the same Beako day?  Nightmare. The same damn poems for the past six years all with the same mind-numbing rhythm. LOL

That said, the vast majority of the families, faculty, and staff go out of their way to make sure our family feels welcomed and a part of the community.
