[quote=Anonymous]I think it's great when people are happy with and appreciative of the educational and other opportunities that college has to offer their kids! By contrast, I think people who see their kids' colleges as markers of their rank in some kind of social pecking order are really messed up. My guess is that people in the latter camp tend to initiate the kinds of conversation OP described with parents of kids at "average" schools and are pissed off when those parents are excited about their kids' college experiences. How dare they be? Because, of course, everybody knows college isn't about the kids' experiences or education -- it's about parental bragging rights and social status. Seems so unfair to posters like OP, who find themselves forced to bow down to like-minded parents with kids that got into even better schools yet unable to pull rank over sane parents whose kids are at schools that are merely "average."[/quote]
