[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is correct, overly involved moms are a hit in cookie-cutter schools!

The overly involved moms made parochial school miserable for our family (hint - they loved their child and the kids they thought should be their kids’ friends more than our kids. Much more. They were not kind to some kids) so we really preferred our Stone Ridge experience where the parents weren’t in charge of anything. It was a very nice, welcoming, socially relaxed experience for our family. [/quote]

Seriously? I was afraid we would have to deal with them for four more years at Visitation. SR, here we go! [/quote]

It was a good choice for us - everyone was just so nice. I met no mean/unkind parents in 6 years of social/sports/school events there. Maybe they’re there but they weren’t in charge of anything (there are a few parent run events like auctions but everyone is super nice) and we had very good experiences there. 
Just a wonderful experience for our family. [/quote]

I am so happy to hear about your wonderful experience at SR, but ours could not have been more polar opposite from yours.  It was not a wonderful experience for our family.  Clearly YMMV.  There is no "one size fits all" school.  [/quote]

We also had a polar opposite experience from the first poster at SR.   But we know so many families had great experiences.  If things go well, they seem to go very well.   But that doesn't always happen and some schools are more equipped to deal with issues.    For our son and his private school experience, we went in a bit more eyes wide open that there is no one size fits all school and to set expectations, very optimistic but realistic.  [/quote]
