[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS will not go any further south than UVA.  Most of his choices are northeast and midwest.  But we're New Englanders at heart.[/quote]

It's "farther," but that's OK.

Signed, a Southern school grad[/quote]

That's ok.  My kid will be much better educated than me.  I didn't go to college lol.  Hubby, however, did a few ivy leagues.[/quote]

Hey troll, it’s “than I”, not “than me.”  Think if it this way:  complete the sentence by adding the word “am.”  Would you say “better educated than me am?” or  “better educated than I am”?  It’s the latter, of course.[/quote]

Like I said, my education is lacking, and I am not embarrassed about it.  Married highly successful surgeon, ivy league educated.  He obviously sees the good in me, even though my writing skills could use some improvement.

But to reiterate, DS loves schools in the north.  He probably could apply to Duke and have a shot, but not interested.

Have a great day![/quote]

PS, and why do you feel the urge to pick on me?  Weird.[/quote]

You dismissed an entire section of the country as not good enough for you without bothering to say why. So yeah, they came after you. It isn’t your education that’s lacking. It’s your emotional intelligence.

And now you sound pathetic, deriving your value from what someone else thinks, because he’s a surgeon and ivy-educated. You somehow managed to act superior, elite-worshipping and pathetic. You’re good.
