[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like following DC's school Instagram announcement page because I like to see where kids land, but I do not want constant updates from friends about their kids' application statuses, and I definitely do not want to know about scholarships, etc. Last year, we got actual printed college announcements with professional photos of the kids--essentially SM on crack. A big no thanks on the printed announcements aka brag bomb. [/quote]

Again, it's the company you have chosen to keep.  Let me guess:  private school?[/quote]

The printed announcements (coming from 3 separate families) were all from public school families. [/quote]

No, they weren't.  And there weren't 3.  And I was right that your kids are in private school.[/quote]

I'm very sorry that my experience does not fit the narrative you are trying to sell. The three families from whom we received printed college/graduation announcements were in fact from public school parents. Two attend BCC, the other one is at WW. I was not trying to make it into a private vs public school thing. [/quote]

But your kids attend private school, right?  Yes or no.  It's a basic question.[/quote]

They do not. Again, sorry. [/quote]

Uh huh.  That's why you took so long to answer.  Right.[/quote]

Seriously????!!!

My original point was that I liked the Instagram posts because it's a student-managed account, so kids are deciding whether or not to submit their news. The printed announcements are things that their parents spent money on to send far and wide for their own purposes.

I am now logging off because I have a meeting with a client. bye. [/quote]
