[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol at everyone would expect your kids to be in AAP because you’re both “double-Ivies.”  The vast majority of my kids’ classmates have no idea where DH or I went to undergrad, grad school, or law school. We did not test prep and have never heard any kids brag about their test scores. My kids each know one or two kids who brag about AAP. I went to private school and knew tons of kids who bragged about money and any number of other things. So you aren’t avoiding bragging kids … but I’m glad you’re happy with your decision. We have loved FCPS. [/quote]

LOL, right? I posted in another thread about how our DC got into a Big 3 K, the DC of our "double Ivies" (under and grad) friends did not, and they seemed utterly baffled at how that could have happened. Divine rights of matriculation.[/quote]

OP here. You seem really insecure about your lack of academic credentials since you keep posting about this.

All I meant was that people expect our kids to be smart and to do the smart things that smart kids do, like getting admitted to AAP. But I don’t want that pressure for them. I did not say that being our children automatically makes them a shoe-in for AAP.

Fwiw, we got admitted to a Big 3 as well. Hopefully not the same one as you, since you seem unpleasant.[/quote]
