[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High school teacher here.  If you could see how sad the kids are who got deferred or rejected, people might not treat it as such fun gossip.  The kids who have not gotten in feel like damaged goods.  They will all end up somewhere great, but having everybody keep score of Ivy admissions does feel like salt in their wounds at this point.

Do I think a lot of kids read this forum?  No.  But they do pick up on the general air of competition among some parents over college admissions.  [/quote]

I am with the high school teacher. Sidwell parents 0 Others 1 (for not taking the bait)[/quote]

Other schools like GDS actually post the names of their NMSF on their school page! And plenty of people on this site brag when their child is accepted into Sidwell or one of the other top schools. Considering the hate usually on display for SFS on this site everyday, I am willing to cut those parents a little slack. My house is made of glass. How about yours?[/quote]

That's logical because GDS usually cleans up in having the most NMSF among independent schools.  [/quote]

Nice, the GDS* Troll expanding to include NMSFs!   (*I still think there's a solid likelihood this is someone trying to make GDS look bad.  Classic trolling technique.  Did anybody at GDS insult the Dear Leader of North Korea lately, for example?)[/quote]
