[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen the discussion come up in a FB group that a lot of people feel like there's less stigma to sharing extracurricular accomplishments than academic ones...like people are fine with "We're so proud of Susie, who won MVP at the soccer banquet!" but roll their eyes at "We're so proud of Susie, who was accepted early at Wellesley!"

Do you all find this to be true in your social networks, or nah?[/quote]

I've blocked a lot of mothers who overshare the stupid sports accomplishments and grades and college VISITS (!).

I think college acceptance is fine. But I also think if it's a great college -- especially out of state -- you're going to have a lot of provincial parents who will be bitter. It is what it is.[/quote]

Ok this is fair (I'm the PP), I've definitely clicked "heck yes" to "See less from [person]?" because I was completely over reading about their kid's football season. (Especially posts about how upset the parents are about the calls the refs made...our team deserved to win, they were better, and the other team's excessive celebrating was not classy...also they're ELEVEN YEARS OLD.)

I will take ten college visit posts over one appeal to join a multi-level marketing "team," though![/quote]
