[quote=Anonymous]Yes, that conservative description was a riot!

For the new parents coming in, don't worry.  There is absolutely nothing unpleasant about all of this conformity.  It's totally voluntary.  and there actually are many kids and families "off the grid", so to speak.  And these people are always embraced in the Beauvoir community (perhaps precisely for their novelty!).

And, tongue in cheek or not, the poster is right about the death-march to St. Albans and NCS.  Those bastions of traditional rectitude cast a large shadow over little Beauvoir's lawn.  I happen to know that MOST parents come in at Pre-K/K without even a thought about those two schools.  They're just happy to have found such a nice elementary school.  So it's not as if these people enter with a life strategy (I know I didn't).  However, there is something intoxicating about those cathedral schools which begins to envelop parents midway through 2nd grade year.  And then it's all parents can do not to sell their kidneys to make sure their kids get in.
