[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Extremely weird and creepy school/class. 
Kids usually says 'I'm from NYC", I played football, I like cats".

They don't say I went to such and such high school named XYZ which is private or public.

My kid has a copuple of classes with 16 kids and 19 kids. 
I bet it was never said, and my kid never knows which ones went to public HS and which ones went to priviate HS. 
Very weired school/class[/quote]

Unless you are college profs, you really have no idea.  What is really weird is PPs like you who drill down into details like this and think you know better than someone with 20 years’ experience.  Your insecurities about sending your kid to public school are shining through. [/quote]

I knew where tons of kids went to high school. I was at a SLAC, and every other person had on a private school sweatshirt at some time or another and you would end up hearing where others went.  I can’t speak to what it might be like at a large, especially state school, but it definitely came up in conversation. 
I went to a college and a grad school, and also have college kids, so I have a good idea.
You are very weird.

Oh, like the vast majority of the board, you went to college! You have college kids! OP must be a liar because of your vast expertise. Your insecurity about sending your kids to private (despite the fact you are so educated but couldn’t afford it) is killing you. It’s not weird at all.[/quote]

You don't need to be an expert at all.
Did you know what kind of HS  your classmates went in your college classes?  
Very weird and creepy people

When I went to college I absolutely knew what HS my classmates went to, because we quite naturally talked about it. Some of the kids still wore sweatshirts or t-shirts from their high school. It was especially interesting to learn about the HS experiences of the kids from Alaska.

If you think it's "creepy and weird" for 18 year olds to discuss with each other where they went to HS, there's something creepy and weird about you tbh. [/quote]

Maybe that's the kind of conversations losers have in college. I wouldn't know. There are lots of other things to talk about any nobody knows or cares what your pathetic high school was. Just like in grad school nobody cares where you went to undergrad.[/quote][/quote]
