Is this wrong?

[The Guy in the Kilt at UC]

I noticed that the culture in Cincinnati puts much more emphasis on where you go to high school... much more than anywhere else in Ohio. I'm not sure what it is about Cincinnati; when I moved here everyone I met asked where I went to high school. I later learned from my girlfriend that people use it to gauge your personality. I think it has more to do with a status symbol. So my answer to your question depends solely on whether your son intends to live in Cincinnati after high school, otherwise it does not really matter. All I can say is watch out for those Elder boys, you know how they are.

I find that a bit odd, the town rivalry is nothing compared to what it is farther north. People in Dayton seem to care more about the Bengals than people in West Chester. But I agree, it does seem that the schools are more status than anything. I know people in Medera. I don't know if they were always arrogant, but 2 kids in that HS has made them quite a bit so.
