My kids are in public school and I think it's typical Caitlin Flanagan clickbait nonsense: obviously exaggerated personal anecdotes carefully designed to appeal to pre-existing stereotypes, with little of substance.  Honestly, she's been writing the same formula since the 1990s or something. I don't know why anyone would take her seriously.[/quote]

Another public school parent who finds this ridiculously over the top and exaggerated.  The only Sidwell parents I know are polite and laid back -- except for that one dad who during basketball games used to bellow advice to the Sidwell boys and criticism of the other team and the refs.   One of our moms actually asked him to tone it down during a game, and several Sidwell parents approached her afterward and both thanked her for speaking up and apologized for the loud dad.
