Hey Natasha, Read more

momtrepreneurs have found fertile ground to exploit the vulgar notion that the right preschool is the sole entry point to a pneumatic tube that deposits their offspring 13 years later into the Ivy League. Read more

Here is the entire message sent from the professor trying to DO HIS JOB. I guess before long there will be no professors or administrators on campus.

Blooooody hell. This sounds like the preschool version of Sea Org. Is this woman a Scientologist? No conversing with other parents? No questioning at all? Being kicked out for being concerned? Ticks allllll of those boxes. Read more

The exorbitant tuition and the fact that Renae ejects innocent children from their school and can’t negotiate peacefully with their parents would send me running to the closest free playgroup/co-op. People can run them in parks, at the beach, at the library. The kid-centric, catered environment sounds fun, but not… Read more

I’m a bit torn by this piece. I live next to King Middle School. It was once a hotbed for prepubescent criminals. The kids would ditch school and hide behind apartment buildings. They would steal mail, let the air out of the tires of parked cars, and generally cause mayhem. Now it’s a rather elite magnet school.… Read more

“If the past ten centuries have taught us anything, the idea of Camelot is easy to attack, but it’s also difficult to destroy.”

It’s also important to not that Camelot ALWAYS falls, usually due to the leader’s hubris. Read more

Not just that but besides paying exorbitant tuition a lot of these families gave SERIOUS money as well as time to make that school the yuppie paradise that it is. Of course they're going to be upset when you start acting like a mix of Stalin & Regina George from Mean Girls. Read more

But have a gorgeous day! Read more

Best thing I’ve read in awhile. Read more

She seems to be veering pretty hard towards fascism as she moves forward;
Camelot should head back and to the left. Back and to the left. Read more

This all sounds very Scientologisty! What with the acronyms and the punishment for behaving in a way deemed “subversive.” Read more

Then you are this duck:

Born and raised blue collar in Los Angeles, watching the eastside get taken over by beardos and women who name their kids like they’re air fresheners. So much this though...

LMFAO 20k a year for preschool? #FirstWorldProblems Read more

What is the life of someone who can spend $18000 a year on preschool. What is life like for their children? How much will their birthday parties, cars, weddings cost? Other schooling and extracurriculars? It's baffling to me the kind of money some people have. Wow. Read more

A million stars for the “Cocktail Party Putsch”. Read more

To me, it seems that Renae-Plant types are quite common among self-founded non-profits, schools and small business. You have to be a little crazy to pour all your money and time into a venture in the first place, and once you do, any criticism, anything less than total, unquestioning obedience becomes VERY PERSONAL.

I live in the midwest - which is decidedly not LA - and was also impressed by the price tag. Which is pretty close to what I pay here for 1 kid, except that we have two so - we pay BIG MONEY.

It’s probably bad that for a brief moment I thought - “Wow, maybe we could afford to live somewhere on the coast.” Nope, jk -… Read more
