nowayout: regarding mascochistic parents–they might not be masochistic at all–they might just have very different values. Some people aren’t that into academics, so it won’t hurt their feelings if your kid scored higher than theirs. I know some parents who’d look at a NMF and be thinking things like, “Poor kid. How will he make it in life? He can’t even throw a football. Never had a girlfriend. . .how pathetic. I’d be ashamed if my kid were such a nerd. . .etc.” So go ahead, if your friend asks, brag away.
