I guess what gets me is the whole concept of “the high school sent a kid to X college.” My kids’ high school isn’t “sending” them anywhere. I am, or more accurately, they are sending themselves through their own hard work.

It’s almost a variant of the whole “which college sends more students to top law schools, medical schools, etc.” mentality. Well, no college “sends” its students to law schools. The student makes his or her way to law school; the college merely provided resources, some more than others.
