glad my kid didn't get into Nest or Anderson...especially Anderson. You parents are CRAZY. I'm reading these posts and I can't believe this stuff. I feel sorry for all you sad fools who think your kids are among the best and brightest just because they could identify triangles and their abc's on a dumb test. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

when we started doing the school thing, a friend who is an admissions director said, "Listen to what the schools say, but it will all sound good. What you have to do is look around at the other parents. Know that these are the people helping to raise your child. Their parenting will affect their kids who will influence your dc and it will be their homes where sleep-overs happen and all that." She couldn't have been more right ! [ Reply | More

Okay! But I for one couldn't be more excited about becoming a NEST mom in the near future. Bring on the crazies. I'm of the mindset that we can actually have some control over what families we choose to associate with. [ Reply | More

There are many Anderson parents are perfectly sane, very nice and down to earth. It's up to you to choose which ones you will befriend and bond with and who your children will have playdates with. That's what I do. [ Reply | More
