Anonymous wrote:This might be a wildly debated/unpopular view, but I think you need to consider that these instagram accounts show the school the child chose to go to. That is not always the most prestigious one they were accepted to. I went to a highly sought after boarding school, and the school I ended up going to was my choice for a variety of factors that didn't directly relate to placement. I factored in where I got more grants, the city where I wanted to live, and what I planned to study while there.
I would also argue, and this is from the slant of an UM, my time in prep school prepared me more for the workforce than my college degree. I sailed through college compared to my peers, spent a year studying in South Africa and taking a light load (because I'd been able to test out with AP scores), etc. I now have an amazing job and work right alongside people who went to Harvard and Yale with considerably less college debt because of the choices I made. So for me, my decision to send my kids to independent schools was to mirror the early investment my parents made in me. And I would argue, it paid off.
No one asked you to justify why you are sending your kids to private school.
Maybe see a therapist!

NCS and STA don't post as a whole or at all until kids are settled. Other than friends that post for friends, or random class page posts, recruits and so on.

If you have basic working knowledge of social media, it requires minimal effort to find these pages. Again, it’s the modern version of reading it in your local paper. Students are very obviously posting it for public consumption. Enough with the pearl clutching over this!

While you’re at it you should probably stock DMV public school pages you’d be surprised. And probably need a drink at your country club afterwards. Maybe 2!
There is nothing stalkerish about checking public instagram pages.
These kids post by their own free will.
It's PUBLIC TO THE WORLD.
Are you 100 years old? Ask your high schooler. Kids who don't want to participate don't. Those that do don't care who sees their posts.
Just curious - do you think it's slightly stalkerish to go on WhitePages to look up the address of someone you don't know to see where they live and how much their house is? That's public information too but still creepy.
These kids want to announce their plans publicly. “Commit days” are also very popular now. It’s a thing. If it were just for their internal community they would flip the switch and make it private, like their regular private class pages. These are public by design.
Seems like you’re missing the point of social media. How old are you?

No, I do that all the time. I’ll look up whatever I please. It would be creepy if I posted someone’s address on DCUM, though.
+1 I do it all the time, too. This isn’t really comparable, though, because no one submits their home address online with the understanding that it’ll be publicly available. These kids agreed to display this info on public accounts with many more followers than there are seniors in their class.

Sounds like something you’ve done personally. Lots of projecting going on here.
