New York Prep Schools Ban Students from Saying They Got Into Ivy League Schools | TheBlaze.com

This is just pathetic. People in my generation are going to go into this world as coddled children. What does this mean for America in the future? We're doomed.

Well they don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

And then we wonder why we read about these college graduates crying because no one will GIVE them a job.

Let's not tell people that hard work actually can pay off and some do really well. It might just give everyone the idea that there is something for which to strive. It might upset the whole apple cart of mediocrity that helps us all blend together, colorlessly.

Reminds me of the games where score isn't kept, yet every kid knows the score.

So they've already been accepted into their dream school, but cannot announce it or else. Or else what? They've already been accepted, and have only a few weeks left to go. Hell they should scream it from the rooftops.

Such an oddity. I went to boarding school for high school and one of the draws to students for a particular prep school are the number of students that get into prestigious colleges.

I think Ivy schools are overrated and overpriced... I don't know why anyone would be hurt about not getting in... I guess its the same reason some people get hurt if their football team didn't win... I guess, I just won't understand...

Everyone wants to be a mommie, and protect their babies from getting owies.

What they don't want, is for their babies to grow up.
