and sometimes i feel awkward.
 i grew up in the area so went to a big 3 here.
my kids are in public and i feel that whenever i mention where i went to school, i get an automatic, "why aren't you sending your kids there?"

the school in question has gone up in cost 3 fold since i went there and while we are well off, we can't afford 2 of these tuitions... and i'm actually perfectly happy at our public school. But the school i went to is so well-known and well-thought of that i think people think i'm a terrible person for not automatically putting my kids there...

anyone else in the same boat?[/quote]

Where I went to high school has never come up since I graduated from college. How does this get brought up?[/quote]

I think it's very common when you meet people from your "hometown" so to speak to ask where they went to high school. DH grew up in this area and is now a teacher in an area school system (and has taught in 2 other area systems); when he meets people from NoVA, he frequently asks where they went to high school, just conversationally. Sometimes the question sparks a connection--he knows someone who went there or taught there, or he himself taught there.

If I met someone from my hometown, almost the first question I would ask is, "Did you go to North High or South?" LOL.[/quote]
