[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny, no one complains about all of the National Signing Day photos all over the internet and in the newspapers.  Why is it okay to celebrate athletic successes while we are reluctant to do the same for academics?  The people on this forum belittling students/parents for posting college acceptances are the first ones who would get a kick out of seeing their kid's name in the Post as AllMet, for example.[/quote]

Signing days are when kids are committing to a school, so there's no inconsistency with the suggestion that kids wait until they've decided where to go to post on FB.

AllMets aren't really analogous to college admissions.  They are published by a local newspaper.  The academic equivalent would be the school system's announcing its NMSFs every year, which does in fact take place.  No one other than the kid or parent is going to announce a college admission.

I'd just leave this up to the kids to sort out.  They probably have their own code at each school as to what's considered good or bad form.  I don't think a principal needs to tell them how to communicate with each other on the topic. [/quote]
