In 2023, 83% of Sidwell’s graduating class posted their results on Instagram.

Several elite schools across the country don’t post. It’s more of a privacy thing than anything else.

For example STA does not have a page and most of NCS does not post. I wouldn’t want anyone across the country to be able to see where I was going to college and my name with all the shit going down in the world right now and identity theft and what not. I think these kids are smart not to post. It’s noches local DC people looking some really creepy people online.

Most of NCS does post. They just don't do it until the Spring. Last year, nearly the entire class posted. This year could be different. Who knows?

I wouldn't at all if I were a student. You realize these are public pages and any stalker or weird guy can see your picture, name, and now where you are going to school next year and this year? Bad idea

Your child is not special enough for anyone to care where they are or what they’re doing. Parents are posting on Facebook kids post on Instagram. No one cares. Just be smart when you post. So silly. Stop being so self important.

This. You do realize that millions of teenagers post every imaginable detail and identifier about their lives on social media every day, don't you? Often from accounts with ZERO privacy settings in place. Plus in many of these posts they're barely wearing clothing.
Your child posting a single shot of herself smiling, fully clothed with the name of her college is not going to get her kidnapped, raped, or otherwise harmed. What happens in 4 years (or less) when she posts a LinkedIn profile? I mean, the world will know her every educational and professional detail!

My kid is a he not she and Actually their social media pages are private only their friends can see what they post. Hopefully it’s the same for your kid? Otherwise bad parenting on your part.

Go park your helicopter, lady. No one cares about your son or what he’s doing or where he will be going to college. He is an adult he should act like one because you’re certainly not.

+1 because you’re not a stage five clinger mom who does not your adult children to decide what is appropriate on social media makes you a bad parent? Go torment your son some more and I hope you enjoy the therapy bills.

Nope. Totally fine parenting. Your way is not better, though you desperately want people to think it is.

Precisely pp’s point. Angry people like this stalking the college pages. It’s no one’s business where kids are going to school.

Rather be a clinger than a stalker obsessing over kids’ college acceptances in the dmv.

My kid posts whatever they want I never said they wouldn’t post I just said that I personally wouldn’t if I were a student. Reading comprehension not your strong suit and neither is anger management.

The only one obsessing around here is you. Because someone’s child decides they want their senior portrait on an Instagram page saying where they’re going to college to celebrate four years of hard work is not obsession it’s normal. Maybe that’s why you don’t understand it.

Be honest? Your kid doesn’t even have social media. He probably doesn’t even have a phone.

Precisely pp’s point. Angry people like this stalking the college pages. It’s no one’s business where kids are going to school.

Whether you like it or not, schools are actually posting official school instagram posts of matriculations. VISI did it last year and so did Stone Ridge. So in addition to the student run page, there was yet another account that included all students. And yes, it is public. I have a daughter who never posts on her Instagram (her choice), bus she enjoys seeing where her the upperclassmen are going for college. It also gives her a sense of what is attainable for her, and she would be fine with her information being made public.

I agree, these students are now adults and will soon be (if not already) opening a LinkedIn account. Knowing some no name kid's college choice is not a big deal. Heck, we know where Sasha Obama went and other celebrities. They are the ones that should worry.

According to her, all of these successful children have been exposed to “bad parenting”! Lol.

Actually, she probably doesn’t even have a high schooler. Or even a kid!

I have a sister in law that has no social media, and honestly, she is petrified of it. She doesn't want her likeness anywhere. I always ignore and post family photos from the holidays. She wouldn't know anyway and her fear is ridiculous anyway. If she is visiting my house, she essentially consents to having her likeness posted on the internet. If it bothers her that much, she can host the holidays lol.
