[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG PP ... Your DC is at a TOP Ivy. Not one of those lesser Ivies. You must be SO SO SO PROUD. This is all about you after all. Please take a bow. We are so honored to have you here on this forum as a knowledgable parent of a DC at a TOP Ivy. As compared to one of those lesser Ivies. Just FYI, your DC will learn soon that TOP Ivy is no guarantee.  I came through Montgomery College - working my way through, yes, $25 per credit hour was a lot for me to pay back then - I needed $3000 in student loans each year to get by. Then went to UMUC, graduated summa. On to grad school - a TOP one in the field. I had straight As, graduated summa, #1 in the class. No one from a TOP Ivy came close. [/quote]

Reposting, because you're the jerk with the reading comprehension problems who needs to read this:

PP here. Maybe the point wasn't clear, but I was criticizing the PP's Ivy obsession and saying that saying that learning goes on at hundreds of other great colleges. (And then I was deflecting the sour grapes attack that always happens on this insane forum.)

Some of you want to turn this into an attack on me for ... I dunno ... for the sake of being mean over the holidays. Have at it, I don't care about some nasties on this nutso Private School forum. For the rest of you, hope my point is clearer now.
