[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The poster referred to as "Crazy Tiger Mom" on the MoCo forum joined the fray. She has a boy at Churchill. She supports drilling your kid for standardized tests instead of letting them do sports, and she doesn't hold back with her scorn for American parents who let their kids do sports. She also tends to see every move MoCo makes as a plot by those "white males" in MoCo's Rockville offices to hold down those "sweet" Asian kids. [b]I'm not making this up.[/b][/quote]

"....I'm not making this up, honestly" bleeted the cuckoo bird in her nest. "That's the God to honest truth.  I'm not making this up.  The poster has a boy who could not get into St Albans after multiple attempts. Honest.  She claims her athlete daughter is a student at Yale.  And she thinks the johns (toilets) in public school are more disgusting than those in privates."  After a few more involuntary jerky movements, the cuckoo bird, exasperated, with tears rolling down her beak exclaimed,  "I think the boy who didn't get in St Albans is at Wootton..., no Whitman. I'm not making this up, really I'm not."

Finally, as if empathizing with the paranoid schizophrenic cuckoo, a nut from a tree branch above drops into the nest.  The nut is dusted with a sprinkle of [i]Seroquel[/i].  And the cuckoo birds ravenously chips away at the nut with joyous delight.[/quote]

For those of you wondering what the heck is going on, this is a sample of Crazy Tiger Mom's style. It's actually quite entertaining. That is, until she gets into the stuff about how MoCo shouldn't lump those sweet Asian kids together with those badly-behaved minority kids, and then you sort of want to throttle her.

And no, both my kids are quite happy in their MoCo magnets, and we haven't done college yet. But thanks for placing my daughter at Yale anyway![/quote]
