[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the person who posted a sarcastic response to the “humble brag,” and got reported and had my post removed. It must have struck a nerve to say “you forget, all scores over 140 are automatically discarded as the result of ‘prepping.’’

I have seen some pretty ugly stuff on these boards. Overt racism. Personal insults. Disparaging children.  But that got reported and taken down. Wow. [/quote]

I was the one who reported your comment, and I think more people should do that if you're seeing overt racism, insults and disparaging comments towards children.  More people should be reporting it.  It's unfair to turn this forum into a place where people are making jabbing comments just to incite.

Whether the OP was "humble bragging" or outright bragging, who the heck cares.  The kid received a 140, which is great and all, but it doesn't actually mean much.  Whether you prep or not prep, 140 means very little other than your kid is great at mental logic.  That may translate well to academics or it may not.  So, instead of being snide with the response, you can just respond to the best of your knowledge and cut the OP some slack.  For all we know, there may be quite a few parents on here whose kids also received 140+ and in the 99th percentile.  And certainly most kids in northern VA and within Fairfax County receive outside tutoring/prepping.  It's the rare child that doesn't ... so let's not pretend that it isn't done.  Let's just all assume it is done, so that your comment also becomes meaningless--who the heck cares if a kid preps because majority of the kids in FCPS are prepped.  Period!  [/quote]
