[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they mocking him online or in person to his face? My answers would be different.[/quote]

Not to his face, but behind him. Wild that some high school kids and families enjoy collecting each other’s GPAs and activities and then ranking and stacking everyone.[/quote]

You are describing DCUM to a T.  It’s bizarre behavior.  [/quote]

Agree that DCUM goes way overboard, but there is also a big difference between discussing these things anonymously on the internet vs. face to face with the parents of classmates. I vent about the process with friends whose kids aren't currently in the middle of the process (ideally plus/minus a year). I don't discuss it with those also dealing with it, even though it might be helpful to compare notes. A good friend vented to me non-stop about their older kid and I was very helpful as a sounding board. Unfortunately their younger kid and my older one are the same age so we will discuss other things when the time comes, or at least be careful about what we discuss. I am not being secretive and will be happy to help where applicable, but also not bothering them with "my kid doesn't want to work on essays" or "the interview went great."[/quote]
