Tutor-activist Rosemary Sellers explains in The Huffington Post what parents should do if they're posting their kids' college acceptance results on Facebook:
If you want to stop being a competitive, self-centered, obnoxious parent, then keep your kid's admissions information to yourself. If they decide to post it all over FB, fine... but don't you do it. Why? Because quite frankly, it really, truly annoys everyone and it makes the admissions process that much more stressful for all involved. It also sets a bad example. You're the parent. You're the adult. Act like one.
