<p>One of the MODERATORS on this site posted information about a friend of one of her kids. I don’t know the moderator, but the information was sufficiently detailed that I instantly recognized the kid she was talking about. There’s no way the moderator could have known this, but it is a small world. I don’t think his parents would have been thrilled to know that I’d learned some info about their son from this site that they’d never share with me IRL. </p>
<p>So, I don’t mean to be “holier than thou,” but be careful what you write about other people’s children on this site. Sometimes it’s completely innocent–someone posts asking what schools you’d recommend for a kid who attends a certiain kind of high school with X grades and test scores and ECs. There’s sufficent info that a classmate’s parent who reads this site now knows his test scores. </p>
<p>So, while castigating nosy mom–and I too think she’s acting inappropriately–be careful what you say about other people’s kids on this board.</p>
