[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with a public school background, I find it interesting how sensitive private school families are on the "where are you applying to college?" question. I regularly interact with Jackson-Reed kids, and they are very transparent with where they're applying, if they're applying test-optional, etc. I think for private school families, college admissions serves as some sort of self validation or a source of potential embarrassment. Public school families feel no shame in saying "My kid is going to Old Dominion."[/quote] Interesting. I wonder if this was an acceptable question 15-20 years ago. A question that was once ok can become offlimits as times change. This doesn’t really feel intrusive but maybe it is. For those against it does this mean you shouldnt be asking parents of these kids as small talk because of this potential for embarrassment? [/quote]
