[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think parent community matters, but I also think people need to realize that anyone who says they love everyone and haven't run into a jerky parent is either:

A) Not interacting enough with the community.

B) Not being honest.

No matter which school you choose, there will always be someone you turn your nose up at for a variety of reasons...they are snooty, they are the woke police, they are clickish, they brag too much, etc etc.

By and large, I enjoy most of the families I've encountered at Sidwell. Many of them are super interesting, educated, and do care about raising kind, global citizens. But are there some I avoid? Absolutely. [/quote]
Meh, I really haven't run into a "jerky parent" at GDS in several years there. Are there some I try to avoid? Of course. But it's not because they're bad people or unfriendly...we just prioritize different things for our kids.[/quote]

You don't agree with the semantics I chose, but for whatever reason...there are parents you don't like. You can be polite about it, and that is cool, but there is no way a school that touts itself as diverse doesn't have any parent friction. [/quote]
Why does there have to be friction just because parents don't see eye to eye on everything? I go into interactions with parents expecting that we'll have some differences, and that's okay. Personally, it's exhausting to dislike someone...I'd rather direct that time and energy on something more worthwhile. Most often, these are people I won't be seeing more than a handful of times each year.[/quote]
