[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People from ivy leagues are not like able?

And you fear that ivies will make your kids unlike able? An ivy would undo all the years of training and work your family did?

You sound foolish.

You really think a school makes people unlike able?

Perhaps you should check your insecurities and small minded generalizations.[/quote]

When a school tells you time and time again that you are the best of the best, that you are cream of the crop, you start to get a big head.  Just like when a parent tells their kid the same thing, the kid gets a big head and is not likable.  I have seen that, yes.

What insecurities are you referring to?

Everything we say here is a generalization.  People make generalizations all the time.  It's how we have a frame of reference and make judgement calls.  I'm sure you've done it once or twice in your life.[/quote]

It is true that I/my classes were repeatedly told that we are the cream of the crop. But ITS TRU[/quote]
