[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ironically, "smug", "self-righteous", "awful attitude", and "incredibly off putting" are some of the same phrases I'd use to describe the PP who posted 18:25-18:34. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. [/quote]

It is indeed in the eye of the beholder. But this is a thread about personal experiences with admissions offices, so how about adding your experiences with the admissions process, if you have any, rather than trashing other posters? If you had personal experiences with the schools they mention and came away with different views, I'm sure readers would find that much more helpful than a post about other posters.[/quote]

My problem with your posts is that they are not constructive at all. OP asked for constructive criticism and suggestions for how schools can improve. Your responses are vague and subjective complaints, which don't help anyone. Offer more specific and constructive criticism; make specific suggestions for how schools can change their approach. If all you have is complaints about what you thought was a smug attitude, and thinly veiled brags about how your "gifted" child is "thriving," you're not adding anything useful to the discussion.

Ummm... as one of the posters you don't like - not the one with the gifted child - please realize that these posts are by different people, not by a single poster as you seem to assume. And, you know, if you want more details you could just [i]ask nicely[/i].... happy to provide it, to the extent that I can do so without offering up personally identifiable information. [/quote]

Please identify which posts are yours. [/quote]

For goodness' sake.

Since you singled out two posts for criticism, only one of which referred to a "gifted child," process of elimination ought to give you your answer. Regardless, why on earth do you care?
