[quote=Anonymous]It has always been unhealthy for people to convince themselves that there is ONE path to a bright future. First of all, it is often unlikely to come to frution (statistically), so where does that leave these bright enthustiastic people so early in their life journey? It is also a mistake to try to game the system so that your child winds up in a place that is beyond their capabilities. At a minimum, that means in every class they will feel "less than," instead of confident and successful. Families should focus on their kids getting the education they will need to achieve their life goals (which do not stop at the rank of the school that admits them). It has more to do with entering a profession or impacting society. I wish parents would help their kids gain some perspective, but of course if they model mindless status-seeking and competitiveness...then their kids may be in a hopeless situation.[/quote]
