If there's a limited amount of bulletin board space and someone's taking
up more than their share for that sort of thing, I might be secretly
cheering on the person posting the losing articles even if I knew and
liked the kid in question.
(This from someone whose parents never bragged *that* overtly, but would
proudly give info if anyone *asked* after one of us. And I'm still not
sure how I feel about the whole "My kid is an honors student at school
X" bumper sticker phenomenon - I think it's a little tacky to be running
around town with that plastered to the back of a minivan.)
