[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that people won't literally name the college; it's how they bend over backwards defending and rationalizing the 'decision'. It's desperate.[/quote] I don't have kids (and likely won't), so I really don't have a dog in this fight. But maybe they bend over backwards rationalizing the decision because the entire thing (kids and college) is a big and difficult and expensive decision. It doesn't mean they are desperate. I just means they are ambivalent. That's okay. For what it's worth, I can deal with ambivalent people, but I can deal with smug people. I'll even take desperate over smug. I'll add this tidbit, as a person who doesn't have kids, the longwinded conversations about schools and colleges and giftedness and whatever is all kind of boring anyhow. They're important decisions for families to make, but they're not necessarily interesting topics to other people. [/quote]
