[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some are being unnecessarily harsh. OP’s DD doesn’t feel like she fits in as a Missourian and wants to go back to the familiar. It’s an understandable human impulse. OP, there are some LACs in PA that may give merit as well, Muhlenberg is one and you might look at Gettysburg and Ursinus, too. If she’s open to Catholic schools like St. Joe’s there are more options in PA that give merit. [/quote]

Because the daughter clearly thinks she is better than everyone else in the Midwest. She spent year mocking flyover country. No slac is going to change her mind.

Karma is real.[/quote]

Where did she say the daughter “spent year” mocking flyover country? Nowhere. Your Midwestern insecurity is showing.[/quote]

Op says the kid is uphappy with ALL in state options and will only consider the coasts. It's pretty obvious what happened.[/quote]

No need to be rude about it.  Kids in different areas have different cultures.  As an ex-Californian, my best friend in my new Pennsylvania middle school was another ex-Californian.  We're still friends today even though she returned to California.

I came to PA from a MoCo "W school" feeder middle school that was pretty nasty.  I later chose not to raise my kids in the DCUM heartland because of that.  Even though I enjoyed living and working in the DMV as a young adult.  I've found parents on here that say my old middle school is still nasty for the same reasons it was 40 years ago.  It's validating.

I live in the Rust Belt Midwest now.  My quality of life is great.  But I am a bit non-Midwest for this area.  I have two kids born here so I see how they indoctrinate kids firsthand.

People have different life experiences.  If OP's kid wants to GTFO of Missouri, then help her.[/quote]
