[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WRONG.  The PP even know that four of the ten had PARENTS who went to Harvard!  That's stalky as all get out.[/quote]
It's a small class at a k-12 private school.  PP has probably been attending endless school functions with half those parents for over a decade.  Of course she knows where they went to college.  Heck, she probably knows where they live, what they do for a living, and all sorts of other details.  It's called knowing your kid's classmates.[/quote]

I agree. You'd have to have your head in the sand not to know this stuff about the kids after so long. The school is not that big. How would you not know this information? [/quote]

Sidwell is not THAT small.  It's 1200 students overall.  And while my kids went to bigger, public schools they largely had the same friends from first grade on, and I have to tell you:  I couldn't tell you what half their best friends' parents went to school and what they did for a living, and I certainly could recite every extracurricular activity in which the friends engaged.  And I was a very involved parent.

Some of us have a life beyond our children's schooling.  [/quote]

Let me fix my typos:

And while my kids went to bigger, public schools they largely had the same friends from first grade on, and I have to tell you:  I couldn't tell you where half their best friends' parents went to school (then again other classmates' parents) and what they did for a living, and I certainly could not recite every extracurricular activity in which the friends engaged.  And I was a very involved parent.
