[quote=Anonymous]2:14 -- McLean is not a SN school.  It is a mainstream school that is open to and supportive of students with mild learning differences.  A SN school would be Lab or Kingsbury.  When we toured McLean initially (years ago) they told us 50% of their students have a diagnosis.  I would say that on the spectrum they are halfway between a mainstream school and a SN school.  So students who need the full supports of a SN school will not find what they offer at McLean to be adequate.  My DS is kind of a tween -- he needs some attention but not enough for a SN school.  McLean has been the sweet spot for us.  The teachers are trained to and want to figure out what each child needs.  Its not perfect, as most of us with children there will say (in spite of accusations of cheerleading).  if your DC is not in that sweet spot, either because they need more accommodations or more challenge, it won't be the right school.  I wold say every school is about the fit, but with such a specific niche thats certainly true for McLean.

As for Lamborghinis, this is a just a truly bizarre rift.  PP saw one once and so throws out this idea that there are plural Lamborghinis out there.  I have never seen one at McLean.  The cars in the parking lot are similar to cars in parking lots at other privates and at suburban publics.  The bar/bat mitzvah thing is another strange digression.  If you have a child in 6th and 7th grade you need to to prepare for a ton of invites, wherever they go to school.  My other DC went to a Cathedral school, for goodness sake, and by the end of bar/bat mitzvah season declined many invitations because there were just too many.  Frankly, if your big beef is that your DC somehow can't go to your second home, you shouldn't be talking about the obvious wealth you perceive in the parent body.  In any event, what you are posting does not answer OP's questions.

I suspect that .30, 2:14 and and 3:17 are from the same sock puppet who is up all night posting here.

OP, I think you've gotten some helpful answers amid the muck here.  The best thing to do is visit the schools and have your DC spend some time there.  You will get a good sense of whether or not its a good fit.[/quote]
