[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's true, though.  If you see a car driven by the Catholic Mafia, it's all about the Gonzaga or Prep bumper sticker.  You never see a college bumper sticker.[/quote]

Ridiculous, but it IS true that you are a bigot.[/quote]

It's not ridiculous.  Sorry you can't handle the truth.[/quote]

Nice try, but I see probably 200+ Catholic school cars on my carpool rounds every day and MANY have college stickers, sometimes multiple colleges.  Maybe you're the one too focused on HS to notice colleges ;)[/quote]

Almost all of those stickers are terrible colleges.  Regardless, the previous point was correct:  for whatever reason, the Catholics in this area care so much more about the HS destination than the college one.[/quote]

That seems to be true and one reason seems to be that the parents are too wrapped up in their kids lives - the sports teams, their friends, being the popular family. Honestly for some of these families it starts out in kindergarten where the socially obsessed families make sure their kids are friends with other 'chosen' families - excluding other families. It's not subtle at all but still unexpected if you have no idea of these things as we did.

We took our kids out for public school for a bunch of years to escape the stupidity
Back in private high school - I must say the more academic the school the less of this stupid nonsense that seems to go on

Parents can't rule a college. Their lives are over when junior goes to college (until grandkids).

It's all really dumb
