[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it a little odd if parents can't muster enthusiasm for where their child is going to school. Sort of seems like they'd have made peace with that. Don't be so quick to assume with other parents that it's always one-man-upmanship. Life should be about sharing and connecting. If we all close ourselves off and are so self-protective, much of the joy gets sucked out of life.[/quote] I do not respond Cal State because I am in any way ashamed of where DD was accepted (as I mentioned, I would be proud if she attended any of the Cal States). Rather, I respond that way because real, genuine sharing and connecting is not asking me -- when speaking only rarely, or for the first or second time -- Where do you work? What do you do? Where do you live? Where do your children attend school? Where are your children interning this summer? What are your DD's grades and/or SAT scores? Where was your DD admitted to college?[/quote]
