[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, both here on DCUM and in real life, a number of GDS parents carry a chip on their shoulders and constantly look for ways to tell everyone around them how much better GDS is than other area schools.  Parents I know from Sidwell exhibit more confidence.  I'd like to think that difference is just one between parents, and is not reflected in the students too, but know more parents than students.  As far as I can tell, GDS is a very good school, so I'm not sure why the GDS parents act that way.

It's DCUM so I'm fairly sure some GDS parent will attack me for expressing this opinion.  But I'm pretty confident this difference I've observed over many years and many people is not my imagination.

To repeat, this is not a criticism of GDS, but rather an observation about how some GDS parents conduct themselves.[/quote]

I completely agree with this. [/quote]

Correct[/quote]

Definitely true.  GDS parents are tying to convince someone of something.  Probably themselves.[/quote]

O.k.  we get it.  Some GDS parent somewhere rubbed you the wrong way.  Sorry.

But you've now bumped your comment six times in this chain.  Time to let it go, sweetheart.

And for anyone else who wants to meet the GDs community, the GDS lower school has Country Market Days this weekend. It's a fair that's open to the whole community. Stop by with your kids and have some fun. And I promise that the parents will not be annoying. Or no more annoying than everyone else in DC can be.[/quote]
