I wrote a poem (in sympathy with SAM2) which I posted on the "Big 3" sticky but I am proud of it so I'm posting it here too.  (Who knows, I may seek a publisher next so that a wider audience in the world can read my private school doggerel.)

I was happy, oh yes, carefree, 
When I first moved to DC, 
Until I found out 
And was crippled with doubt, 
About something called "the Big Three"!

These schools of wonder and grace, 
Each one a magnificent place, 
My child would adore 
To go through the door, 
And emerge an Ivy League Ace.

But, alas! I learned of the debate 
Which tangles DCUM forums with hate 
Which ARE the big three? 
Are they only in DC? 
Or in a neighboring state?

Sidwell, Cathedral and St. Albans too 
Will argue their "Big Three" status to you 
Potomac, Maret, Georgetown Day 
And the girls of Holton should have their say, 
The laxers of Landon, the Georgetown Prep boys, 
St. Stephens St. Agnes is making some noise . . .

Every child shouts: "My school is Big Three!" 
. . . OH wait, that's their PARENTS . . .do pardon me!
