[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha, I remember in one of the older L-T threads there was a parent who was sure her child wouldn't fit in at Ludlow Taylor because she had her own Mac and they lived in an $800,000 house. I think she also played the violin. It's hilarious to me that all these sheep refuse to send their kids to a decent school down the street because none of the other fancy parents are doing it.[/quote]

Fancy parents?  Ooh la la.  Do I count, because my house ran us 800K and I take vacations abroad?

If the school wants to serve our neighborhood (far from clear) more than others, time to get used to those awful elitist neighborhood parents.

BTW, it's not a decent school by the standards of most neighborhood parents, or they'd be the majority, at least in the lower grades.

The elitism isn't in the home value or the hobbies -- it's in thinking a difference in home value & hobbies somehow makes LT a bad fit for your child.

And to me, the question isn't so much whether the neighborhood parents think it's a decent school (some do, some don't) -- it's the criteria they're using. LT is consistently portrayed as inferior to Maury, despite having considerably more kids performing at an advanced level. If you suspect (as I do) that's because Maury has more white kids, then you might fault the portrayer & not the school.[/quote]

+1000!  Well said and very true.[/quote]
