[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boys went to Yorktown. It wasn't perfect to say the least. However, couldn't imagine them going to W-L and/or Wakefield...for a public, it'll do.[/quote]

What’s wrong with WL and Wakefield?[/quote]
Nothing. It's a prejudice or "feeling of superiority" based on social and economic class/status. There are families who simply find W-L and Wakefield unacceptable. [/quote]

If you’re playing against an Arlington school, or just watching a game, you know that the Wakefield families are always far and away the nicest.  [/quote]
It's because we have had years of people reacting in horror at sending our kids to SA elementary and middle schools. "Oh, does he see a lot of fights?!"
It helps you develop a sense of humor.[/quote]

I have never heard anyone say that or react in horror.  If you're hanging around this type of person, says something about you.[/quote]
??? I heard this many times at sports games, it wasn't a choice to hange around them, just luck of team assignments[/quote]

can we just stay on track with the conversation?

This is travel sports then?  I don't know my kid plays travel soccer and no one is saying these things on the sidelines.  If they are, don't sit with the other parents.  Plenty of people do that.[/quote]
No, rec sports. I have met plenty of lovely families from all over Arlington sitting in the stands...and a handful of snobs. [/quote]

Rec sports are organized by your school.  You're sitting with the opponent's parents?

A handful?  You just said you've heard it many times.

This is why the generalizations are a bad idea.[/quote]
Little league pulls from multiple schools[/quote][/quote]
