[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids’ friends are convinced there is no other way to succeed. They believe that it’s imperative to get into an Ivy or other top-ranked school in order to make money. They are so stressed and pressured about this. I am a successful professional and know many other successful professionals. Some of us went to Ivies, others didn’t. How can I explain to these teens that going to a college that is a good fit where they can thrive is much more important than going to an Ivy?[/quote] This shows nothing but a spectacular failure of parenthood. You have the right message in mind, but I'm not sure you'll be able to reach any of those kids. Besides, I'd be wary of butting into people's lives -- despite the level of emotional damage wrought by the parents.[/quote]
