[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You clearly don’t know many people whose children are at these TT schools. There are two types of UES dinner parties, those where people endlessly complain about these places and tell dark, dark stories about them or those where they sit around and talk about how great they are for sending their kids to these places.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is sort of blood omertà among certain parents at these TT schools that they are indeed always everything they were promised to be and that anyone who feels different is just jealous. It’s weird and immature, and it means admin is never held accountable for anything other than getting rich kids into HYP, which isn’t a metric of anything other than getting rich kids into HYP. How do they once there, do they do well once they graduate? No one knows, because you aren’t allowed to ask. I didn’t quite believe there adults who believed in HYP the way kids believe in Santa Claus, but then my kid went to a TT. There are.[/quote]

Feels like the majority of people are happy with the outcomes for TT and the demand for the product is still there.

If the bullying and poor outcomes were more consistently an issue - people would not be applying.

your daughter and a couple of others had a terrible experience due to one rich girl at one TT school.  It sucks but it sure seems to be an outlier.  [/quote][/quote]

Well, both dinner parties sound exhausting.

Our daughter is at Spence.  Her friends are a diversity group of girls.  Most are dual income affluent households.   The girls are nice and the parents are friendly but we don't hang out with them often.

Are there things we don't like, of course, no school is perfect.   But thankfully we aren't experiencing bullying/mean girl stuff. [/quote]
