Yes, the AD lectured me on why I should switch my DC to "sun butter" instead of peanut butter when all I asked her was ," if my child has to bring his own lunch for her visit day, are there any allergies to peanuts?" as that is what I usually pack is PB&J. Her response to my question was to lecture me on the health benefits of soy butter. eye roll.

I didn't have the heart to tell her that soy butter is genetically modified, but had I spent 5 minutes on that we would have been "in" for sure. LOL

We did not apply for our DC.[/quote]

Actually, sun butter is made from sunflower seeds (not soybeans) and it contains no GMOs.  [/quote]

Oh, in that case the AD should just continue right along trying to shove it down every parent's throat as part of her "healthy food choices sanctioned by the GDS admissions team". Yuk.[/quote]

It's a question of credibility.  When a poster asserts something that's just plain wrong and yet does so in a way that's condescending and dismissive, the thought crosses your mind that that poster isn't really a trustworthy source of information.  And when the same poster tells a personal story in which she can't seem to decide/remember the gender of her own DC, then you wonder whether the anecdote is for real or whether this is just someone with an axe to grind making stuff up.

I am the PP. It is real. The AD of for the lower school campus spent 5 minutes lecturing me on what I should be feeding my child during the parent admissions interview. LOL this was prior to my being asked to sign up for a visit day for my child ( I later declined) You seem to find the AD's behavior difficult to defend and therefore , instead of defending lecturing a parent applicant on the meals she feeds her DC, you are attacking the poster. This reminds me of the type of convenient boxes GDS likes to put people in. My question is : are you employed by GDS. Please answer with some integrity as you are attacking this in others.

So, are basically saying that :

A) lecturing a stranger on what they feed their child is not aggressive "PC" behavior and , furthermore:

B) for the GDS AD to engage in this in an admissions interview does not at all suggest that GDS has a heavy "PC" culture. Perhaps they just gave the AD position to this one fluke type person and did not train her or advise her on how to carry an interview with an applicant parent.

Option B leaves me stumped because on a prior thread some one assoc. with GDS  proudly posted that, " when GDS built its lower school they had a room especially built for removing the sticks from parent's asses". Sounds like a place that thinks " it is our way or the highway" to me.
