Exactly. My kids have gone to a mix of public and private schools and have friends and acquaintances all over the area. It’s exciting to get a little update.

Why are you so obsessed about where kids you don't know go to college?

You talk about "youth mental health" and how the college process has gone off the rails and is harming kids and then can't stop yourselves from obsessing endlessly about the destinations of strangers.

I care about the kids we *do* know. We don’t keep in touch with all of my kids’ old friends from preschool, ES, MS, various activities, teams, etc. but I’d love to hear where they’re heading.

+ 1, I love seeing where kids land and what they're studying

11:32 is spot on. You are creepy. You could have just contacted the parents if you actually know them.

You guys are nutters.
"Hi! We haven't seen each other in 8 years but where is Larlo heading to college?"

That was the point. OP doesn't know them.

Oh, come on! In the era of social media we all follow and stay in touch with people online that we may not have individual contact with on a regular basis. That’s perfectly normal in this day and age.

Ask your kid or your friends from back then if you’re so curious moron.

Outside of the friends I actually keep in touch with that’d be extremely awkward.

“Hi. We haven’t talked in 5 years but where is Larla heading to college? She was always building stuff as a kid; is she studying engineering or architecture?”

but why do you need to know where some kid you haven't cared enough to check in with for 5 YEARS is doing to college?

People get busy. I don’t keep in touch with the parents of every single kid my kids have ever known.

Jeez. So many negative people try to zap the joy out of every little moment. If you don’t care, then don’t open the thread.

Join in the joy here:

I’m happy for those kids. But I’m happier for kids I actually know.

No you don't actually "know" them. You used to "know" them. You chose not to stay in touch. Move on.

Ok, Karen.

That's all you have? No wonder you are not friends with parents of students who went to preschool with your kid.

LOL. You're really jonesing for a fight, aren't you, Karen?

No one listens to you IRL so you resort to online bullying?

That would be OP resorting to online... who can't bother to keep in touch with people IRL (and says is busy but not busy enough to keep track of kids/young adults who they don't keep in touch with) and wants to know where they are heading off after high school

I’ll take that as yes. Maybe work on being a kind person and people will like you IRL so you can stop bullying people online.

OP should work on IRL skills to reconnect with people so they aren't desperate to see where kids they claim to know are going to college. Be brave, OP, you can do it

Eww. You don't know them. You could just send a text to find out where Larlo's former friends are going if you are so nosy

That's why these people are lonely. They are so afraid to meet people one on one. They think they still are "connected" to someone. No you are not. If you cared to keep in touch or they cared to, they would have. Go meet them in person to "catch up." Go to church. Volunteer PTA to "catch up" IRL, through email, group chats or DMs.

I’m dying laughing that ACHS, the only public high school in Alexandria, isn’t even on the list. And they have an insta.

I think the links here are faulty

Which link do you have?

I literally just copy and pasted the list I had found on DCUM last year and changed 25 to 26.

The list from last year had way more schools.

I was working off a list I had saved on my computer. I just found the old thread and will try to add more.

Blair and Poolesville might also be wrong but I haven't figured out the correct link.

OP - here are the correct links to some of the MCPS schools.

Thanks! I'll update the list later tonight along with some other links.

I showed the first post to my hs senior and asked what he thought. He said those pages are for them and their friends, not really nosy adults. He also said lots of kids don't even do a post. Especially boys.

If they want to keep them private, they should make them private.

Yep. Handful of seniors last year said: " if you didn't bother to get to know me for the last 12 years, why do you need to know where I'm going now and what I'm doing next?" Some variations of this line by seniors who were not all in one friend group.
