Dean's List Notification

[sasari]

<p>

This is my feeling about it, in this community, others are free to feel differently, in theirs.</p>

<p>“It’s either making the Dean’s list is not a big deal”
IMO, that. <em>Some</em> deal, nice job, but not a big deal, certainly not a newsworthy event. Nice that they did well but they didn’t cure cancer. But then boasting about it as if they did, a little “nouveau gauche”, IMO.</p>

<p>" or it’s some sort of embarrassment that no one should know about."
Not that. Something to be happy about, but not to boast about, IMO. Family should know. Be sure to tell grandma. Not the newspaper though.</p>

<p>Sort of like the Patriot’s players’ reaction to the extent of the Jets players’ celebration after their win. “It was a lot of classless play on the football field after the game,…”… "“You can tell they’re not used to being in this position.” "</p>

<p>Since it’s not normally done here, for Ivy school students, I feel like it would be looked at this way, by some, if I posted it. A little tacky, classless, inappropriately boastful. More probably nobody would read it though, I guess.</p>

<p>The way I see it, boasting that your kid made dean’s list at an Ivy league school is a subtle dig at all the other readers whose kid isn’t attending an ivy league school and didn’t make dean’s list either. Even if that’s not the intent.

<p>This. I think monydad covered most of my sentiments. </p>

<p>I have seen the section in the newspaper for college students that made the dean’s list, but as monydad said, it’s usually for local and regional colleges whose students are from the area.</p>
