[quote=Amma]I remember when we went to their pizza party/fund raiser, our little boy really wanted a flower for the face painting and it was a really big deal because he was told that boys shouldn't want flowers. They should want footballs or lightning bolts. There was nothing bad or wrong with the interaction, but it was very clear that these face painters (who were all older students at QR) were taught very very conservative and very traditional values.
I don't have any knowledge about either of these schools, but have hung out around a lot of kids over the years - including a lot of kids raised in very liberal left-field families (including my own lol). I wouldn't be surprised at any girl no matter what background saying the same thing - I hear it from my girls all the time! And I'm so *NOT* conservative/traditional as well as having spent major efforts trying to be sure that my kids don't grow up with gender bias of any kind
