@one1ofeach I understand that someone who has never seen something would think it strange that others who have seen that something bring it up. But different people have different experiences. I would say its strange to me when people don’t seem to understand that different people have different experiences. But I have been on this site long enough to know it happens often. Place is something of a bubble/echo chamber in many ways.
And given the people I know who are looking for the “wow” reaction when they talk about their kids expensive private non-boarding schools, I would expect there are boarding school parents who are the same. But I acknowlege that not everyone has that experience or is looking for that reaction.
