I'm a WJ parent and from what I've observed WJ parents are probably not as hard-core as Whitman or Churchill parents. We chose the WJ catchment area for this very reason.



LOLZ!

ROTFL. What will it be when they rezone the parkwood neighborhood to Einstein and the garrett park neighborhood to woodward?


Please don't pick on the Kensington Parkwood crowd. That group gets fired up like no one else. Remember the post that called them the "Whitest School in Maryland?"

You are supporting OPs point - many don’t consider Cornell to be an Ivy.


Clearly that was OP sock puppeting. I'm sure there are many loons out there but 2 loons with the same mo would be weird

The Ivy League does. There is no such thing as the W School League, though.


Sorry I should have said a "real" Ivy.


I don’t even have a connection to Cornell but you sound “real” dumb

It definitely is and I'd rather my kids go there than one of the more segregated schools with all the hate crime.
