[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is braggy. IMO, there is nothing wrong with sharing to close friends and family, but why broadcast on social media? Also, if one wants to do that, it would read way less tacky if people do that at 8th grade graduation. You see the graduation posts all the time saying oh my sweet larla is the best 8th grader ever, she works so hard and gets all As and we are so proud that she will start 9th grade at Sidwell/Maret/NCS/etc in the fall. That would piss people off so much less since there is a flood of post like that at graduation time

I agree it would have come across differently that way. Or if they shared a pic of the child in the school swag and some funny line like “ looking forward to being a (school mascot) next year” on the last day of 8th. Such a different feel. Still more than I have ever felt comfortable sharing as I was always brought up to “tone down” things and to try and be mindful as to how things may come across to those less fortunate. Also at that age the child likely might feel self conscious about a post like that. My child goes to a well known school too.[/quote]
