[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who go to elite schools but won’t say it are weird. Eventually, it will come out, and then you just look stupid. You may think it is self-effacing/humble, but it’s implicitly arrogant. It’s like you’re hiding that you belong to an elite club, then you’re outed. Obviously, there’s no reason to be embarrassed about attending such a school, so it seems like a humblebrag. And, if you think you’re protecting your conversationalist, you must assume they are fragile, which is also insulting and pretentious. If attending a great school is part of your life, just own it. [/quote] If your kid goes to one, it's no big deal. Where your kid goes to school in reality is a non-issue that can be left vague.[/quote]
