[quote=Anonymous]It is really a difficult time of year for seniors, and having gone through this process twice recently, seemed to be considered quite bad form to post an early decision/early action acceptance on Facebook, either by a parent or a kid.

Unlike in the spring, where reasonably quickly 98% of kids know where they are going, or what choices they have, in December, there are some very very happy kids/families that are admitted to their first choice, and know they are going there, and can relax and not spend Christmas vacation filling out more applications and writing additional essays needed for some schools, and others are miserable, having been rejected or deferred, and having a bleak holiday ahead of them. \
Both my kid's schools made it very explicit that either kids or parents posting or even talking at school about acceptances was very insensitive.

We were on both sides of this situation, i.e. happy December and sad December, and seeing it from both sides, really don't want to see this information on Facebook! Close friends/family that need to know can be called or emailed or privately messaged.
