<p>Ya know, sometimes I read posts that aren't relevant to my son's situation, just to get a laugh out of the level of snobbiness on this forum.</p>
<p>In all fairness to Calmom, she was probably oblivious to how her comments came across. And, she is by far NOT the only one here with that attitude. I've seen that attitude expressed by others towards kids who 'only' go to state schools rather than Ivies. And, some threads make the assumption that everyone WANTS to go to an Ivy! (Here's some news: not everyone would choose to go to an Ivy even if admission and $$ were not factors at all! Yeah, no kidding!) Some people talk about their kids as if they were trophies rather than real people.</p>
<p>Very amusing and rather sad, actually.</p>
