[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is seriously getting creepy to put this stuff up year after year.

Why are you so obsessed about where kids you don't know go to college?

You talk about "youth mental health" and how the college process has gone off the rails and is harming kids and then can't stop yourselves from obsessing endlessly about the destinations of strangers.    [/quote]

I care about the kids we *do* know. We don’t keep in touch with all of my kids’ old friends from preschool, ES, MS, various activities, teams, etc. but I’d love to hear where they’re heading. 
[/quote]Ask your kid or your friends from back then if you’re so curious moron.  [/quote]

Outside of the friends I actually keep in touch with that’d be extremely awkward.

“Hi. We haven’t talked in 5 years but where is Larla heading to college? She was always building stuff as a kid; is she studying engineering or architecture?”

This is just so weird because you're nosing around about what a kid is studying in college not because you care about the kid (clearly you don't or you would have contacted them over the past 5 yrs) but because you need some data point for your own research. You view the kid as a check mark.  A commodity. It's just so distasteful and even more-so because you clearly don't get how weird your behavior is because your replies are tone deaf. [/quote]

You have way more time on your hands if you can manage to stay in touch with all of the parents of every kid your kids have ever known. I don’t have that much time so this is an easy way to get a brief update about them. [b]Closing the chapter of childhood. [/b]

No, that chapter closed when you left preschool and didn't stay in touch. Talk about time on your hands to start such a discussion.[/quote]
