[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can private school parents please stop hijacking this conversation? Thanks. [/quote]

I'm PP and I'm a public school parent.  Several orher posters here have a child in both systems.[/quote]

this thread is about JR vs McArthur[/quote]

It was a public school parent who first introduced private schools into this thread by claiming the kids are "bubble wrapped and hand held". 
There are tons of us with kids in both systems and I feel the need to speak up when comments are made that simply aren't true (like that one).

Ok sure, you need to speak up and defend private school to a bunch of parents trying to decide between their public school options. Good for you, warrior. [/quote]

Whatever.  I'm a 15+ year DCPS parent and a private school parent.  I'll continue to speak up when I see people spouting out about things they know nothing about.   [/quote]

It's deeply antisocial to disrupt a conversation between public school parents (who likely cannot afford private) because you want to crow about how great your private is.  If these things were just one-time comments that would be fine, but you hijak the whole thread. Start your own thread with your own topic about how private schools are so unfairly maligned. [/quote]

I didn't hijack any the thread at all--I commented twice.  I'm not the poster(s) maligning DCPS grade inflation or AP results or GPAs. 
I find it so funny how people on DCPS always assume that they're having a 2-person conversation.  For all we know there were 30 people on this thread.

Private school parents in general start from the proposition that they are better than you - actually had a GDS parent say that to us.  So, not uncommon for them to continue to remind you of that.[/quote]
