[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. [b]Public school families feel no shame in saying "My kid is going to Old Dominion.[/b]"[/quote] This definitely varies by school. Kids/families I know in our local MoCo schools are similarly stressed and keep details to themselves. This is also true of friends we have at private schools in Baltimore and in public/private in Boston. I don't think you can say this is just a private school thing. [/quote]
