[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question. We are adults who are trying to help our own kids and possibly the other kids, too?

Goes something like this (actual posts):

OP: What school would you not want your child to go to even if admitted.

Answer: Vanderbilt. Never believed a school from the south would be good. Plus they just bought a campus in New York City??? Seems sketch

RESPONDER: Sorry your kid didn't get in.

I have a lot more trouble with the nasty jerk in the Answer comment than the person who posted "Sorry your kid didn't get in." I am truly disturbed by people who completely hate on a school. Why be nasty towards a school where people's children have chosen to go, for whatever reason? I'm not saying every post here should be glowing and positive and that is not really helpful, but to be truly hateful towards a school, particularly with the childish anti-Southern attitude, is awful.

The Responder post isn't very adult either but I get it. Snark deserves snark.[/quote]

Yep.  Don't complain about nasty rebuttals if you're throwing out the nasty first.[/quote]

Amen. Wrong people are getting blamed here. Welcome to America, 2025. Up is down and down is up.[/quote]
