[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My niece went to Arecibo Observatory with her astrophysics professor she was doing research with on one of her breaks. I feel like it was Spring Break or right after semester was over. She wouldn’t shut up about it. Said it was amazing.

Nephew went on a 3 night civil rights guided trip to Tennessee with his English professor from Purdue over Fall Break.

I sure hope these are the things my kids do on breaks. My senior is very much looking into schools with undergrad research and global education.[/quote]
*shrug* My kid is in her second year of a microbiology PhD program at Duke and never did research over spring break. School year and summers, yes. But she spent one spring break partying in FL with friends, one in Austin visiting high school BFF at U of Texas, and two at home relaxing.

Feeling superior because of your kid’s spring break plans is so bizarre and unhealthy. [/quote]

So is feeling defensive about them.  This PP said nothing negative about other plans and is not even talking about her own kids.  Presumably, she’s responding to previous claims that research trips are BS by giving examples of trips she’s heard about that could be characterized as research-related and that she thinks were worthwhile.

Really? You don’t see how “my child doesn’t know anyone going on spring break, only the rich and unmotivated do that” could be problematic?

You are as socially clueless as the person who said it. [/quote]

Burn. [/quote]

Again, different poster.  This poster’s kids aren’t in college yet.  [/quote]
