Elite is not subjective. Elite is what it is. The choice you make for your family has no bearing.

I'm with the PP way upthread. I would never put DS's school sticker on my car because I sometimes drive very aggressively and take calculated risks. Today I did a U-turn by driving over the median.

Hysterical. They might as well wear those hysterical tee-shirts that say, "my son/daughter and my money went to Sidwell!"

As a sidwell parent, i'm going to have a sticker printed up that says something like $326,569 in maroon and grey and put it on the back of my car the day after graduation.

As a teacher, I sport one as a way of advertising the school. Especially for folks at the smaller or less well known schools, it is a good way of spreading the word. Of course, I only did this at the schools I believed in. At one school (which I promptly left), I was uncomfortable with many actions being taken, so I refused to put the sticker up. At my new school, where I am in full support of the work being done, I've got my magnet on proudly.

Watch out, the pro-bragging police will come down on you like a ton of bricks. Bragging is good, didn't you know?

It's a MAGNET. Not a sticker. I dislike stickers but the magnet is about the community of the schools. I never thought that I would ever put anything on my car, but when you think that the kids get the education, for $30,000, all the parents really get is that LOUSY MAGNET. SO let's enjoy it in good humor.

Had it tatooed on my a@@.

its only obnoxious if the person driving the car is obnoxious. or if you're obnoxious. otherwise, its just a sticker.

Obnoxious, if it's an elite school.

OK, seriously, I think we are just having fun with this thread. But I do like the notion that if you are sporting your kids school sticker on your car it should make you more conscientious about how you drive.
