[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Extremely weird and creepy school/class. 
Kids usually says 'I'm from NYC", I played football, I like cats".

They don't say I went to such and such high school named XYZ which is private or public.

My kid has a copuple of classes with 16 kids and 19 kids. 
I bet it was never said, and my kid never knows which ones went to public HS and which ones went to priviate HS. 
Very weired school/class[/quote]

Unless you are college profs, you really have no idea.  What is really weird is PPs like you who drill down into details like this and think you know better than someone with 20 years’ experience.  Your insecurities about sending your kid to public school are shining through. [/quote]

I went to a college and a grad school, and also have college kids, so I have a good idea.
You are very weird.

Oh, like the vast majority of the board, you went to college! You have college kids! OP must be a liar because of your vast expertise. Your insecurity about sending your kids to private (despite the fact you are so educated but couldn’t afford it) is killing you. It’s not weird at all.[/quote]

You don't need to be an expert at all.
Did you know what kind of HS  your classmates went in your college classes?  
Very weird and creepy people

I did - because I wasn’t a social reject. Where are you from is a common way to start a conversation. 
Here’s how it looks:
Me (at state university) “Hi, so where are you from? 
Them “NoVA.”
Me: “Oh, me too! Where did you go to school?” 
Them: “Langley.”
Me: “Oh, i don’t know anyone from there but I knew some Potomac kids….”
See this is what it looks like when you have normal social skills.[/quote]

You did - becasue you probably went to a communter school or a instate school where bunch of local kids gather together.

Here's how it looks:

Me: what's up guys, where are you guys from
Kid 1: NYC
Kid 2: Boston
Kid 2: How about you?
Me: NOVA
Kid 1: What the heck is NOVA?
Me: Northern VA, it's a boring place.
Kid 1: Cool
Me: Cool, you guys want to come to a party?
Kid 1, Kid 2: Sure

See this is what it looks like when you go to an interesting school.  
Nobody fukcing know and care about your HS LMAO

I don't see why it matters, but I think it's a natural question to ask, especially for a freshman, if you know someone from where the other student is from. "Oh, you're from X City? Did you go to X High School? I know someone from X City, but he/she went to X School." It would kind of be weird not to ask, I would think, but maybe I'm just being provincial.  [/quote]
