[quote=Anonymous]I'm not going to go into the types of letters I received other than to say that a significant number were not telemarketing.  I am not going to detail my other high school achievements - this discussion about my decisions are a red herring.  My mother saved these letters because she wants to spring them on her grandchildren - I don't know what points she wants to make - I'll wait and see.

I got into every school that I applied and was offered full scholarship to a few that I never I applied to - but this is not about me.  This is about our DC.

I am agreement with the last paragragh - 9/24/2012 12:00.  I don't want my DC to write off or make assumptions about people to include the quality of their intellect or habits based on their color, SES or school attended.  I do not wear rose-colored glasses -  but it is more important to me that he does not miss out on befriending those that are struggling and working hard to attain an education that he may take for granted. I want him to base his judgments on qualities - include in your friends those with qualities to which you aspire.  Assuming superiority over others based on background is not one of the qualities I wish for him to attain.

Signing off - my intent in my original post was to let DCUM know that the poster did not speak for me or my circle of friends in contrast to the broad swath of AA parents she alluded to in her post.  This has been accomplished.
