Private school moms please come back! I cannot take the bitter, angry entitlement of my peers in the public sector any longer. It is frightening. Thought they would be more normal, but it really is turning out to be the opposite case. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Don't worry you will hear lots of bitter angry entitlement in the fall - here are a couple of previews - people who are on FA are freeloaders; so and so is jealous of my great connections poor me; the DCs of famous people don't deserve to get spots at TTs 'cause they are all dumb; [Name of TT school] ain't all that cause [story of some jerk you know who went there] etc. [ Reply | More

but its not the same. there is just something very raw about the public school (G&T) bitterness. have never seen anything like it. there is terrific anger and entitlement based on a sort of mob mentality. it is frightening. at least the private school stuff ends with people being upset, but then admitting perhaps they were not worthy. the public school moms want blood, and en masse, feel entitled to it.

Don't confuse UB with real life. I bet there are only a few very vocal people on this board. IRL everyone I know is over it, whatever the result good or bad. [ Reply | More

"were not worthy" That is absurd, many whose dc got SO were more than "worthy" they just accepted that statistics did not work in their favor. [ Reply | More
