[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]people unintentionally tend to suppress negative information no matter what their choice was.  its human nature to more positively frame the choice you made vs the one you didnt.[/quote]

That's one way to look at it. Another is to say that it is easy to sit in the corner and poke holes in everything instead of engaging. Another way to say it is that DC (and DCUM) is filled with adults who grew up entitled, but not nearly as entitled as they thought. They confuse upper middle class upbringings in nice suburban towns with little poverty and think that they were actually trust fund kids. Those people spend all of their time worrying about what they don't have and jealous of what other people have, instead of appreciating what they do have. They think that someone stressing over things they don't have makes them "deep" or "thoughtful". They don't understand that perfection is a mirage.

I went to public school in a big city with much higher crime than DC currently has and a public school system with a lot of challenges. I'm extremely familiar with parents using their children to express political choices and being totally in denial about what the kids are experiencing. But even then, I didn't know anyone with a college degree who sent their kids to the equivalent of Eastern because no one was that nuts. [/quote]

This. I don’t know anyone willing to take a gamble on Eastern unless the school institutes some major changes [/quote]
