[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't be serious. That's the tour guide equivalent of cocktail party question. Where do you live/work. Good lord.[/quote] +1 I will continue to ask. If the tour guide is too sensitive about their personal experiences at the school, they need a different role.[/quote] You keep missing the point. Nobody ever said the kids can't handle it - the point is that you are being rude by asking. Period. Of course kids (and their parents) field these questions all the time. We all know how to deflect. Several admissions adults SAY UP FRONT to leave the kids alone RE college applications - it's not acceptable small talk, not acceptable probing. If you are too afraid to ask admissions for the information you need and/or are too dense to get up to speed - this is your issue...not a sign of a snowflake tour guide (who will be just fine but chalk you up as "one of THOSE parents") [/quote]
