[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone tell me what schools would be good for someone like OP? We’re similar, but make way less than a million.[/quote]

Hey, I’m a trinity grad from the late 00’s, kid at dalton k. Posted above about parent scene at dalton. I really think this shouldn’t be a concern. Obviously, its fine to get the nerves about being part of a school community. It’s much less of a big deal than people make it out to be. [b]HOWEVER, I will say at trinity, there were a handful of parents who let loose the dogs of war whenever a teacher deigned to give them less than a top grade.[/b] I’m not exaggerating, starting in like 7th grade, a few families pretty much had standing appointments with administration to complain. But I don’t think any of my parents’ friend socialized with them.

Dalton is lowkey incredible so far. I have to say we probably fit more closely with private school stereotypes, but we try with everything we have to avoid people who weaponize status. No one has been like that so far. I mean it when I say there hasn’t been a hint of snobbery or elitism. [/quote]
