[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If social media posting is your thing, I think May 1 commitment day is okay.  Move in day even better.

Not the minute you get the news and your kids
Peer group got bad news. [/quote]

This is good advice. May 1 is a day that a lot of kid will share the news, so if there are families or kids who are disappointed or sensitive to it, they can prepare for it and avoid as needed. Same with move in.

I think you want to avoid contributing to a scenario where kids or their parents post as they get letters, and all of senior year turns into a long process of watching your peers celebrate acceptance to schools while you are dealing with rejections or waitlists, or get accepted to a school you aren't enthusiastic about. Yes, that's life, but social media puts a spotlight on it. Why make it harder on those kids than it already is? Take your kid out to a special dinner and celebrate with family and tell them how proud you are. Then remind them that not all their friends may be in the same boat, and to be thoughtful about their behavior. Good life lesson for everyone, honestly.[/quote]
