I'm not losing any sleep over this - it's interesting to me that in an increasingly bifurcated economy with the haves and the have-nots that people who by and large live in good public school districts will slap stickers on their cars advertising their $40K+ per year private schools for (seemingly) no better reason than advertising. I couldn't even imagine doing such a thing.

Do people who do this think about these things and are unbothered by them? or do such concerns not even occur to them?

My kids were really excited to out the magnet from their school on our car. It didn’t occur to me to be more concerned about your feelings than theirs. Sorry!

Why does anyone put any bumper sticker/magnet on their car?

This has to be one of the stupidest topics brought up here. And considering what else people bring up, that’s saying something.

This. It's not about bragging or signaling exclusivity. It's simply about pick up drop off. Not that deep.

I had it for a while because merging into pickup line was a nightmare and I wanted people to give me grace since they knew I wasn’t cutting in but just crossing to the school across the way. I’m

Because they can. I wouldn’t due it do to safety issues, would not want the public to know where I take my kids to school, but others can. They’re proud of their school.

Doesn’t matter. It’s still weird.

No, it isn't.

You must have an incredibly low annoyance threshold

Are you worried kids will get into cars with strangers and chaos will ensue if the correct cars aren't identified by bumper stickers on the back? That doesn't pass my smell test.

I live in Arlington so I see a lot of Potomac 'P' stickers and if you do this you should at least own the flaunting justification.

Saying public school people do it doesn’t answer the question. The question is why?

You guys are driving cars! Omg jerk show offs. Catch the bus.

My neighbors put up lawn signs that share what private school their kindergartener has deposited at. I think it's weird AF.

Yea, that’s weird too. Two of our kids went to UVA and I guarantee you if I told you we drive around with a UVA sticker on our car you’d wretch.

We don’t.
