[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is hysterical.  [b]OP asks a relatively educated & interesting question ("To what extent do the local elite private schools encourage their students to think for themselves & act independently?")[/b] and out come the most bizarre collection of responses.  Like what, 2 people, have engaged in a substantive conversation on what should be an interesting topic to all of us?

So far, you all have accused OP of being a bad writer, a bad mother, not knowing her own child, caring more about a brand than a kid, pushing her kid harder than she should, being a jerk to people on DCUM, and hating the autistic.  Because she asked whether you though your DC's schools encouraged them to think independently!   OP, carry on.  At least a few of us think you're the normal one.

I encourage you to look at schools outside Washington.  The boarding schools are at a Secondary Schools Conference at Norwood next week.  Might be worth investigating. [/quote]

Wrong.  Her first question was:  "Here is my question: if you have a lifer at Sidwell, Maret,GDS or Cathedral Schools, how prepared do you think your HS senior is to be the steward of their future in terms of future intellectual pursuits and professional career path?"  Then, she insults two kids:  A 19-year-old senior who she feels should be fully mature despite the parents' decision to hold the child back throughout the years, and a 9-year-old who may, or may not, be on the spectrum.  She can't escape the "DC problem," as she is the definition.  As I have a hard time believing that this stereotype exists in this pure of a manifestation, I now believe that she is a troll.  I have never before called someone a troll online, but she takes the cake.[/quote]
