[quote=Anonymous]It really is alarming awful and not a good look. I think it’s a combination of insecurity and entitlement. These parents act like it’s a zero sum game and if your child succeeds it means their child won’t. They also do seem to love tearing down certain schools or lower ranked ones, again - insecurity? Snobbery? Frustration that a kid who in their eyes didn’t achieve as much as their kid now has options and is happy with them? Many people in this area have spent a lot of time and money with this one goal in mind (private school, tutoring, lessons and activities and travel sports) and I think are weirdly obsessive about this one outcome. They also seem to expect a comparable return on their investment. Would love to hear others’ thoughts. [/quote]
