[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is truly fascinating to read the random crap insecure strivers are triggered by. You put your high school on LinkedIn so you can connect with your high school network. Private alums value this network because they truly enjoyed their experience. OP is probably one of those crazy public moms who spams the private school sub-forum. Now she's worried sick that the elite private school her kids don't attend will hold them back forever as private peers are able to confer their status on online resumes forever. If her kids put their middling public high school on their LinkedIn it will tease out they're unwashed low born and/or the parents were too cheap to pay for private. For shame! Get a grip, OP. It's not gauche or tacky... it is perfectly normal.[/quote]

I’m sorry if someone gets a leg up on a job because their parents paid for private school, I don’t see how you can’t see that is classism in the hiring process. [/quote]

News flash, this is why families spend the big bucks for private and why public parents are so unhinged about public v. private. We all know it's not "the same" and the advantages both tangible and intangible extend far beyond age 18. It's not necessarily about cut and dry connections to get a new job, it's also about new friends, potential romantic partners, parents at your kids' school, head hunters, and decision makers seeing who you really are. The full picture when someone quickly Googles you or searches your name. This makes you public school strivers who moved to Washington unhinged because so many of you are trying to hide your stock, i.e. "where you came from."[/quote]

This thread reminds me of the long dcum thread about where are you from and soooooooo many strivers were trying to conceal their flyover country roots by claiming they're [now] from Washington because they've been in DC for X amount of years. Or if they were from a podunk town, they'd claim the city they went to college in or major city they began their career in (e.g. Chicago, New York City) and other tactics like that to duck where they were REALLY from.[/quote]

Sweetheart, the only insecure person in the room is the one who calls the rest of the country "flyover country". Proud to be from the midwest where people are not judgmental f&ckheads like you.[/quote]
