You poor thing. It's humor. But you take yourself so seriously you have to write a book about it. Would think someone who matters that much would have bigger fish to fry!

you stay cool in that funky universe of yours, pumpkin.

There have been several threads on this issue (most of them pulled because people started picking on the kids), and many of them have been brimming over with a surprising level of resentment towards Sidwell as an “elitist” school. I may have misinterpreted your remark, but I was reacting to a broader outburst of, essentially, pretty raw class warfare rhetoric. Not what I expect from Freepers.

I acknowledge that the issue does hit a hot button with me. Nothing would help most of our major cities more, or faster, than fixing the schools. If it were up to me, I’d voucher them. But it the meantime, places like Sidwell should be applauded. My daughter isn’t headed to Sidwell, but we are on a parallel private school track. We are paying a hefty price while DC wastes huge amounts on a disaster. That does get my goat.
