[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The snark is because posting things like this here is often part of a thinly veiled attack on a particular school.  People will fairly regularly come here and post things like "I saw a young person wearing a [SCHOOL] sweatshirt, and he was drunk/shoplifting/rude/etc!"  The clear implication is that particular school is a bad place, and its students are jerks.  Posting about bad driving follows the same pattern.  If OP is sincere and earnest, then that's fine.  But many people (including me) are skeptical, because this same sort of post is often a troll trick.[/quote]
While you may be right, I did not see this as an attack on Norwood at all.I saw it as a way that the person who was driving might actually recognize themselves and realize that they were not driving in a safe manner. Maybe we are all getting a little to defensive.[/quote]
Maybe we are.  But I've seen this same sort of thing get posted on the private school board several times, so I am skeptical.  By contrast (as 10:04 points out), it's incredibly rare to see this sort of targeted criticism posted on Off Topic, or Montgomery County Public Schools, or any other DCUM board.  So why do bad acts get reported only about private school parents & children?  It's clearly not the case that only private school parents & children commit bad acts.  Indeed, since there are many more parents & children NOT in private schools, you'd think there would be many MORE posts about bad acts by people with "BCC" stickers on their cars.  But you never see anything like that on DCUM.  So for all those reasons, I am skeptical of OP's motives.[/quote]

Just an FYi-while you are correct about the driving of MOCO parents is not posted, there are plenty of postings about how Churchill parents are all rich and protect their kids. There was a recent posting when a parent asked a question about parking at Churchill and she was raked over the coals for asking, insinuating she was overprotective, why wasn't she riding the bus etc.

When the BCC/Whitman drinking issues came up, there also many posts about the rich parents at these schools and how they never let their kids get in trouble.
