[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It always amuses me when people presume to know so much about other kids. A very unassuming kid with no school involvement got into a T5 and I started to form an opinion, and then quickly realized I have no clue what this kid does so who am I to judge. I later saw a write-up on them for a merit scholarship and that was absolutely the case, doing very cool stuff no one would know about outside of school. [/quote]

This is family and area dependent. A lot of us send kids to the high schools we attended, and even our parents and grandparents attended. This is more usual than not (maybe?). I've known 80% of these kids since they were born, and have been at their swim meets or robotic tournaments forever. I've donated to the fundraising when some kid got an opportunities for a competitive summer program or bought wrapping paper for their team's travel to regionals. I can tell you what street their grandparents live on and if their uncle was a good football player. I sometimes know sadder stories about the extended family than the kid has been told.

I think the DC area might be an area that people move to for work and they're going to new schools with new families. But some of us do know a lot so I wouldn't be too amused by that. [/quote]

Agree. NonDMV private here [/quote]
