[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve met some parents who are unabashedly pushing their kids in athletics to near Olympic-caliber levels. Some may have shots at a national team or being competitive for a medal, but the goal of being literally “the best in the world’ at a sport is something they are shooing for. Are their people like that in the sciences? Families who are pushing for beyond HYPMS and steering kids toward hardcore academics with a goal of a high prestige academic future? [/quote] There's a lot fewer Nobel Prizes than Olympic Medals. Better to train my genius in Biathlon so they can get into HYPS with a hook. Or fall back on being a Bond villain. [/quote]
