[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, can you point to specific posts where a parent was “attacked,” or treated like they were committing a “crime,” or told they were doing a “horrible thing” for hoping their kid gets into a top school?

I have seen posters express concerns about the mental health impact of focusing narrowly on the most elite schools. I’ve seen posters talk about the high price of private education. I’ve seen culture war criticism of “woke” ivies, especially in the context of campus protests. I’ve also seen plenty of parents express happiness with other paths, as well an awareness that there are many ways to get good education and have a good life.

But these “attacks” you reference…I guess I just haven’t seen them. They sound pretty bad, the way you describe them. Can you point to some? [/quote]

I am not OP.  But those attacks are quite common here on DCUM.  In the past week I have seen post like "does s/he hates you now, or are you still working toward that ..."  These are obvious ones.  There are a lot more that are less direct but insinuating or assuming it's all parents wanting kids to go to top colleges.  In reality it's both or in some cases I have seen it's the kid.

Sadly agree. I’ve stopped coming here so much bc of the toxcity of one poster…maybe it’s more than one.[/quote]
