[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Montgomery County does not list the NMSF students, only the School numbers.

Which I think is better. We don't need to know their identities.[/quote]

Then why the hell do they tell us the identities of the sports goons at these schools.  De-identify just like for academics...just the numbers!!

Rampant hypocrisy as usual.[/quote]

I am not at all interested in having student athletes identified either.
Hate to disappoint you, but not a hypocrite.

It's the right of the students and the schools to put this information out there, imho - not an outside organization.[/quote]

In the case of all of the listed students either their schools, their school districts, and/or their community or local news outlets publicized the list of names given to them through a press release and/or notifications from the College Board.  As such, it is all publicly accessible  information.  [/quote]

My daughter is at NCS. The NCS names were posted here shortly after being released to the NCS community. That means a member of that community decided to post it here. [b]That isn't okay with me.[/b] The Patch printed what the College Board released. That's a publicity decision meant to boost the College Board's profile, and not left up to the schools or students. That might be their right, but I am still allowed to think it is unnecessary.

Why not?  What is your issue or concern with the (publicly available) names being posted here?

[b]They were posted on this thread before the public list went out. That means some NCS parent thinks nothing of sharing internal school
communications on DCUM. It might be innocuous this time, but it says something about their need to gossip.

I am the poster who has made the effort to copy and paste the names of the NMSFs from the information publicized by the schools, the school districts, or the local newspapers.  Because I do not wish you to hold any resentment towards anyone in your school's community, please let me assure you that I am in no way associated with NCS.    You may be confused as to when "public list went out", however, as I pulled the NCS names off of the school's Twitter post, which in turn connected to a news item on the school's website.  If indiscretion within your school's community was your only objection to the individual names being posted here, then you needn't worry.[/quote]
