[quote=Anonymous]Bullies are usually the most damaged ones in a group of children and have poor life outcomes no matter where they go to college. Picking on other kids is usually a cry for help, and if it’s ignored, the kid ends up socially isolated. I felt and feel bad for the kid who bullied my daughter. So did my daughter and her friends, but they don’t go near her because it always backfires. Wishing pain on any kid, even the kid of a truly terrible mother like me, is not very nice, yes, but it’s also pretty childish and stupid. You don’t agree with me okay, but engage with the substance of the argument or don’t — which is that a lot of Ivy League offer from these places go to kids who are prodigies or connected or have some sort of insane talent (state champion athlete), so it’s hard to know how much of a boost the school’s name gives to an application. If your kid isn’t a prodigy or well-connected (which a fair amount of kids are one or the other, if not both at these places), it’s not a comparison that makes tons of sense for someone who is not, and using it as a metric for the quality of education at a place vs how kids do on ERBs from year to year or how the kids do at those schools once they are admitted is kind of a waste of time.
