[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yu Ying has been an amazing experience for us and many of our friends.[/quote]

OP, read this ongoing thread - http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/256347.page - before you think about Yu Ying.  The PTA harpies there have been flaming each other for three months now.  Not exactly a glowing recommendation for the community there.[/quote]

If you're thinking about YY, yes, you should read that thread.  Because you'll see some serious bickering about a hot topic at that school... but you'll [b]also[/b] see there that - as PP just demonstrated - there is this vehement anti-YY contingent here as well, and you gotta wonder why people spend so much time flaming a school that their kids don't go to.... jealous much?

Not that there aren't parents at YY with criticisms, or that no one's ever left YY.  But the criticisms and exits are pretty small compared to the glowing raves of current parents and crazy efforts others make to get their kids in.

So yes, check it all out (do that with all schools), but also notice and ask yourself what motivates the detractors when there are a lot of them.  Sometimes it's bad experiences and that is very important to pay attention to... but sometimes... it just looks like sour grapes.  [/quote]

Well, I'm the poster you're responding to and no, it's not sour grapes.  I could give a crap about my kid ever going to YY.  I just find it amazing that you chickens are still pecking at each other on DCUM three months after that thread was started  I am sick to death of seeing it pop up and just wish you would all go have a big rumble in the parking lot or something, scratching and clawing each other's eyes out.  Come to think of it, if you do, will you let us know so I can come watch?  It would be hilarious.

I worked at a private school once and when the parents are like that, the kids end up that way, too.  And the culture becomes insufferable.  You've all pretty much convinced me it's a similar environment.  I'd rather scratch my OWN eyes out than subjugate myself or my kid to that kind of toxic culture.[/quote]

Ok, so we won't see you or your kid at the school.  Sounds like that works fine for all involved.  Cool, now why not just ignore the obvious YY threads from now on and keep that blood pressure down?  [/quote]
