[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can spot the private school kids in a coffee shop.[/quote] Me too. And in restaurants. It’s usually the ones whose parents are still ordering for the 12yr old. Which I didn’t realize was a thing until waiters kept being astounded that my then 8yr old could order for themself. [/quote] What? My 5yo in private can easily read a menu and order. He also speaks 3 languages.[/quote] And yet most parents don’t actually let their kids order, even once they can read and talk. As I said, didn’t realize this was a problem until the waitress/waitresses/folks at fast food places kept being shocked that my kid could order, ask their own questions about options and do so w/manners. I did a small informal survey w/folks I know who send their kids to private and yep the wait staff was right. My husband remarked he couldn’t remember the last time he had ordered for our kids outside of a drive thru.[/quote]
