[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People care a ton about where your kids go to school.  Especially, among parents who are highly educated and have lots of time on their hands…is it not PC to say housewives?[/quote]

I do remember going to dinner with a double ivy couple (ug, law for both) along with our kids right after decisions came out and the couple clearly could not get over how our DC got into a Big 3 K and their kid was WLed everywhere. "Just how did that happen?" was the refrain of the evening. Both DH and I had gone to an Ivy for grad and had interesting careers, but clearly our less than prestigious undergrads - at least mine - should have ruled our DC ineligible for consideration.

Wow. How did keep from choking on your food throughout dinner?![/quote]

TBH, their kid had a lot of struggles and they were still in denial about it, trying to cram a very large square peg into a teeny tiny small circle. We realized that there was an element of luck in our DC getting in as there are at many of these independents. While perturbed, compassion seemed to be the best course of action in the situation. Fortunately their DC finally did get some help and ended up being able to flourish in the right environment. [/quote]
