[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly. The fact that the OP can’t see that is concerning. [/quote]

People who have children with lower 
(< 3.70) Sidwell GPAs (or other private schools) keep commenting on this particular point. Please just say you don’t know what it’s like to have a child who earned a 4.0 in middle school, and expected the same, or very close to it, in high school after putting in exponentially more work. If those children feel disappointed, their feelings are valid. No one has said their child was depressed or suicidal.

These children are entitled to feel however they want to feel. Worry about your own children and let others live. [/quote]

You assume PPs (1) do not have children in this position and (2) don’t think the children’s feelings are valid (and did anyone mention suicide before you did?).

At least you didn’t accuse PPs of being public school parents which is apparently the ultimate insult as well as the the standard diversionary tactic on this forum.

If the PPs I’m referring to (1) had children in this position; then (2) they wouldn’t keep posting statements that clearly show they don’t think the children’s feelings are valid.

If this doesn’t apply to you, then keep scrolling. Otherwise, a hit dog will holler.[/quote]

The children’s feelings are real The concern is that (1) they think that gpa at that school should be disappointing and (2) the OP is more concerned with where the gpa fits with other kids’ gpas rather than their child’s lack of perspective.

And why do you believe some PPs who claim their kids have those gpas but not others? Seems a bit of bias toward those who agree with you.

Now you will say I should just move along, yes?

Stop with the concern trolling. Yes, move along. [/quote]
