[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point of the original thread was discussing a situation [b]in which a person in a very small school community [/b]broadcasts that their child got into an elite school that others likely did not, a few days after decisions have come out, knowing (but obviously not thinking about) the other kids/families in their grade who have also spent the past months going through the same process but have not been as lucky. It is in bad taste to act in this manner. Be excited for your kid, yes. Write note of thanks to the teachers, ect, of course. Broadcast it on facebook saying how amazing your kid is with a link to the school, no. This is just common sense if you have ever been in a small k-8 school community, as I think a PP who works in one said above, and makes whoever did this look bad.[/quote]

I'm just not sure the distinction in the bolded.  A child may attend a small school, but likely those parents only make up only a tiny portion of the SM feed.  Basically you are saying that you shouldn't post anything that any follower might be sensitive about.....that would include other academic achievements, travel, weddings, pregnancies, college admissions....[/quote]
