[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You are like most parents in other areas. Travel in just about any direction from the DC region and you'll see the profusion of HS/college stickers start to decline radically. Not as many helicopter parents, and not as many people who view both themselves and other members of their family as walking resumes. [/quote]

I have lived in Chicago, Portland, OR, the bay area, DC, and Austin.  There are plenty of stickers in all of these places.  Where you don't see a lot of stickers is working class neighborhoods in any area of the country.  Go to any upper middle class neighborhood in any reasonably large city and it's college stickers galore.[/quote]

Ever realize that you could drive all over the UK and never see an Oxford or Cambridge sticker?  Or throughout Paris never see a Sorbonne sticker?  Americans are so class insecure![/quote]
You prove the point that it's only the elite schools that bother you. There are hundreds of other schools in England and France but you named the ones that would pose a problem to you.

Jealous much?[/quote]
