[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I'll bite.  I wasn't disappointed in my kids' college choices because they all got into well known schools that DCUM would consider prestigious.  Had they not, I would have been disappointed for sure and probably embarrassed.  Kids around here have every advantage.  To those who are given a lot, a lot should be expected.

I hate pampered, underachieving rich kids.  [/quote]

Yikes.

Why do you assume rich = intelligence?

And why do assume kids who go to non-elite schools (i.e. most college students) are not hard-working?[/quote]

In the social circle where my kids were raised in the DMV, most of the kids were smart.  If they didn't end up in prestigious schools, it's because they were pampered and indulged and got lazy.  [/quote]

Maybe you should consider changing your social circle. Sounds dreadful.[/quote]

Actually sounds like PP is right where he/she belongs -- among the arrogant people who speak loudly about their opinions without the EQ to recognize how ignorant they are.[/quote]
