[quote=Anonymous]I think you guys are reading way too much into "it's a good school."

I'm with 7:25. We're trying to be warm and supportive. There's no craven motive here. And it's not simply ignorant worship of USNWR, because some of you can't grasp that many of us possess information outside the USNWR.

So, what should we say instead of "good school"? Think about the alternatives. Do you really want us to wear blank looks on our faces? Or should we pat our friends on the shoulders to comfort them about their disappointment? Should we fake a "wow!" for every single school that gets mentioned?

Anyways, many of you have completely missed the criticism many of us are making about OP. OP clearly thinks that "mediocre" and "premier institutions" exist, but she apparently wants some new definition that includes her husband and DD but excludes "ANY" (her words) random school, because for some incomprehensible reason it bugs her when certain institutions in the "ANY" category get called "good." This strikes many of us as much more hypocritical than the simple old "good school" phrase.[/quote]
