[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, Happy to hear. Now please keep your smarties-eating, molson-drinking, crack-smoking ass in that frozen tundra up North that you call a nation. I am still trying to figure out what value you have added to the world besides producing Gretzky and providing us a few weeks of comedy relief with that clown of a mayor you have in Toronto. When you can choose either French or English as an official language, we will allow you to comment on our school system. In the meantime, I will be sure to show my appreciation to you the next time I hit Whistler, the only place in Canada worth visiting. [/quote]This is a typical American emotional response when unable to respond intelligently. And I'm an American.[/quote] Jackass, I thought the response was quite intelligent. BTW, there is no typical American response. Also, who the hell are you to say that you are American? Aren't the Canadians Americans too? How about that, a typical liberal response -- Thought you were trying to defend our neighbors to the north but instead offended every other non-US citizen of the Americas by presuming that you are American and they are not. I hate liberals and I am a "Conservative." In the meantime, no one responded to OP's question. [/quote]Well, here's my response. OP, this is an example of what you'll find in DC private schools along with a host of other personalities. Although, most may not be as extreme, volatile, and annoying as PP who is a self-proclaimed conservative (which is okay, everybody stands for something), they are well represented along with independent, liberals, etc. PP does not speak for everyone and neither does anyone else who has posted including myself. So, there you have it. You will encounter all sorts of people with all sorts of opinions. And I guarantee, OP, that if anyone were to recommend a particular DC/MD/VA school, PP would assume the position of the ultimate authority on every named school. You know the type. Take school opinions for what they are. Best to contact particular schools for more information. DCUM is NOT the best place to obtain information.[/quote] Wow! You are a complete tool. My guess is that you live in the suburbs and have no clue of what life is like inside the beltway or outside of your own little small world. OP, Hopefully someone responds to your questions about local privates which are comparable to top privates in Toronto. Also, please be careful of folks on this board who are knocking the US. I don't think these folks travel much. FYI, the US is not the only nation with a culture that obsess over schools or has a a significant number of private schools. Schools like STA and GP were based on the British school model. Yes, that culture still exist in the UK. Ever heard of Eton and Warwick? France also is not immune. Ever travel to Latin America. Do you think anyone who can afford to does not send their kid to the top private schools? Ever been to Pakistan, Japan, China, or Australia. You will also find many parents in those countries who chose to send their kids to private schools. All this is done to ensure that their kids are prepared to enter the best schools in those countries. Like the US, this same culture exists in cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. [/quote]
