[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I went to an elite (and elitist) prep school and the kids going to HSYP+ schools considered it gauche to flaunt where they were going.[/b]

The problem with May 1 is it doesn’t give the kids stuck going to their safeties time to adjust to that and to feel better about it. [/quote]

Hmm. Me too, but I’m not sure I see it quite the same. Maybe it depends on how old you are, but I was there when everyone went to the same Post Office room on letter day and there were kids who walked out with stacks of fat envelopes and kids who didn’t. It was sort of surreal in retrospect. Way more emotionally charged than kids wearing sweatshirts to school after they’ve had at least a little time to digest.

I do agree that we had manners about it. The facts were the facts, but no one would openly gloat when there were kids literally in tears sitting on the steps outside. But other than the occasional jerk, I think the kids today have the same (if not better) sense of kindness and empathy toward their peers.
