Yes, loving and supporting one's children is so embarrassing.  [b]Funny. I went to Harvard and I work with people who went to state schools[/b] as well as people who went to other Ivies.  They're all smart and good at what we do. You find smart people everywhere.  You find a higher proportion of them at higher ranked schools, sure, but so what.  That tells you nothing about an individual who went to a non-top school.  If my kids go to average schools and are happy and doing well and find something they like, are good at, and can support themselves with, you bet I'll be proud.  [/quote]

Sorry to hear that.[/quote]

I'm sorry for whoever paid Harvard's bill. ;)[/quote]

Well part of it was a fellowship, but ok.  And I'm doing very well, thanks.  Are you an adult, or a teenager?  Because I don't see how an adult could be so ignorant that you find people from state schools everywhere -- including Biglaw firms, right alongside ivy grads like me.  [b]Your desperation to feel superior[/b] is making you fact-resistant. [/quote]

Not the PP, but wanted to point something out that seems to have gone over your head.  No one is suggesting that their children are superior (unlike you, of course) when they attend state schools.  We're simply stating is that the schools our kids have chosen are superior - for THEM.  But you clearly don't get that concept.[/quote]

Sorry, I'm the PP and I was responding to the wrong person.  Clearly, that average college I attended didn't prepare me well enough to quote on DCUM![/quote]
