[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never seen anything like what I have observed on this forum in real life, and I highly value academic achievement in my children.

I lurk on here because it is just so hilarious to read about "top ivies" and "Mrs. Simpson" and complaints of how the children are being force fed information instead of being taught how to think (bless my mom and teachers for force feeding me the alphabet and multiplication tables!), et cetera.  My personal favorite is how posters believe that TJ both dumbs down its standards to accept black (5 out of approximately 200 applicants) and Hispanic (13 out of approximately 250 applicants) children while the Asian children apparently "cheat" by studying more.

The complete lack of perspective is strange, mesmerizing, and hilarious.  I just can't tear my eyes away.[/quote]

I know what you mean.  It's so addictive.  I know it's a total waste of time but I can't help myself.  I do actually believe in real life that people are much more normal.  There must be just a small number of crazies that post constantly on here making it seem like there are a lot of them.[/quote]
