[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of the people pushing back on your comments are themselves parents at the schools that you seem to be implying they’re not posh enough for.[/quote]

I never said nor implied such things. Apologies if that is the impression I gave. I was very careful in my wording. I am not saying you need to be fancy to go to these schools, nor posh to be "normal." I'm just saying that you need to obey very simple norms of behavior which I'm guessing most posters here who can string together a few sentences can do.

I don't think you need to wear fancy clothes or anything like that. Just look presentable. And know how to carry on a normal conversation. I'm not asking for a lot. These are things that most teenage kids can do, to say nothing of most adults who can hold a normal job.

I truly was not meaning to be a lightning rod. Perhaps my tone was a bit extreme - I apologize. Having a bad day. But the bulk of my post was very calm, thoughtful and measured. I truly don't think it was controversial in the least. The behavior I am suggesting for a tour of Trinity is the same as what one would do for a non-evaluative tour of any public school (which I did plenty of and where one sees a much broader spectrum of people).[/quote]
