[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they're dragging unsuspecting families into this mess at $20k+ per kid. [/quote]

Right. Because people who have $20k+ to spend per child on private school are "unsuspecting fools" who can't assess what's good for their children. Or is it just that you're jealous that you'll never have that kind of money? Or perhaps you're a teacher who applied there and got rejected because your subject matter knowledge was scant and your methods utterly dull?[/quote]

Who are you and why do you keep posting on this thread with such immaturity and snark? You're embarrassing yourself.

If you must know, my kids are at a VA independent school and have attended programs at ideaventions, through which we came to know the  company and the family. I am not jealous and I am not a teacher. I just can see where this is headed and it's not good. [/quote]

You just admitted you're not a teacher, so you know no more about education than the people you are attacking. They at least have taught a great many STEM classes to a highly satisfied clientele, including my family and those of several of my friends. You haven't, but somehow you have some miraculous insight that allows you to judge them before they've even opened their doors.
Presumably the STEM education your children are receiving at their VA independent school wasn't good enough that you felt the need to sign them up for enrichment at Ideaventions. Yet suddenly you decrete from the summit of your ignorance that the owners are not good enough to teach or run a school?[/quote]

It is obvious that you either know them on a personal level, or even worse, you are them. You are not helping their case with your tirades. [/quote]

Their "case"? They have no case to make to you, since you've failed to give any rationale for your attacks other than that you magically know better and are out to save clueless rich people from the tragedy that's about to befall their children.

I posted for the first time on page 2, at 21:57, and did not hide the fact that I know them, though I'm not sure you could call it on a "personal level." My child attended Ideaventions for four years and is mostly aging out at this point--I've had a lot of conversations with them over the years during drop-off and pick-up and I believe they're kind, honest and genuine people who are being subjected to smear tactics that on this page alone have impugned their character and competence and even attacked their kids.
You can check with Jeff whether he can detect the location I'm posting from. It's about 20mn from Oakton and I believe from their house since I know they live very close to their business. So no, I'm not "them."

In the meantime, why don't you come clean regarding your real motivations? I just remembered an incident in which my kid was punched in the stomach by another child in one of their summer camps. I was told at pick-up that that was the last of a series of rules that the perpetrator had broken and that he had been asked to leave the camp. Are you the disgruntled parent?
