[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, your kid has told his/her friends his SAT score?  And these kids have told your child to retake? This post cannot be real. If it is real, talk to the guidance counselor, not some 17 year olds.[/quote]

PP, do you have a 17 y.o. yet? (I'm just asking, not being snarky)

I'm the PP of the kid with same SAT score as OP, and her friends told her to retake.  Yes this is totally a real thing.  I said to my kid, you told Larla your test score? Why did you do that? "Well she kept bugging me, blah blah..." So we talked about that...keeping that stuff private, information as power, etc.  Of course too late but like you, PP, I didn't forsee this situation.

The other thing that happens is even if your kid isn't telling, the other kids are like, "oh, I only got a 1580; my mom wants me to retake..."

Obviously this is a subset of kids and my kid is in this group.  The other surprising thing was Halloween.  She had two friends over and although the plan was to watch a movie, they did chemistry homework.  They were having a great time, laughing etc, but clearly doing chemistry.  I walked in at one point and was so surprised, "Guys, it's Halloween, what are you doing homework for? Can you just walk the dog around the block?"[/quote]
