I think the links here are faulty


Which link do you have?

I literally just copy and pasted the list I had found on DCUM last year and changed 25 to 26.




The list from last year had way more schools.

Einstein - https://www.instagram.com/farewelltitans2026/
Gaithersburg - https://www.instagram.com/gburgcommits26_/

Blair and Poolesville might also be wrong but I haven't figured out the correct link.

OP - here are the correct links to some of the MCPS schools.

I like seeing kids that I haven't seen in years and where they are headed. There's probably quite a number like us.

Why are you so obsessed about where kids you don't know go to college?

You talk about "youth mental health" and how the college process has gone off the rails and is harming kids and then can't stop yourselves from obsessing endlessly about the destinations of strangers.


I care about the kids we *do* know. We don’t keep in touch with all of my kids’ old friends from preschool, ES, MS, various activities, teams, etc. but I’d love to hear where they’re heading.
Ask your kid or your friends from back then if you’re so curious moron.


Outside of the friends I actually keep in touch with that’d be extremely awkward.

“Hi. We haven’t talked in 5 years but where is Larla heading to college? She was always building stuff as a kid; is she studying engineering or architecture?”



but why do you need to know where some kid you haven't cared enough to check in with for 5 YEARS is doing to college?


People get busy. I don’t keep in touch with the parents of every single kid my kids have ever known.

Jeez. So many negative people try to zap the joy out of every little moment. If you don’t care, then don’t open the thread.

I’m happy for those kids. But I’m happier for kids I actually know.


No you don't actually "know" them. You used to "know" them. You chose not to stay in touch. Move on.


Ok, Karen.


That's all you have? No wonder you are not friends with parents of students who went to preschool with your kid.


LOL. You're really jonesing for a fight, aren't you, Karen?

No one listens to you IRL so you resort to online bullying?


That would be OP resorting to online... who can't bother to keep in touch with people IRL (and says is busy but not busy enough to keep track of kids/young adults who they don't keep in touch with) and wants to know where they are heading off after high school


I’ll take that as yes. Maybe work on being a kind person and people will like you IRL so you can stop bullying people online.

+ 1, I love seeing where kids land and what they're studying


11:32 is spot on. You are creepy. You could have just contacted the parents if you actually know them.


You guys are nutters.
"Hi! We haven't seen each other in 8 years but where is Larlo heading to college?"


That was the point. OP doesn't know them.

Why are you so obsessed with where the kids you don't know are going to college? If you need a breakdown to see trends, the schools have that info. Bethesda magazine publishes the list of MCPS or at least half of the MCPHS.
