[quote=Anonymous]A lot of the things required for college applications are good developmental pushes for kids anyway. Recognizing that you should be making enough of a connection/impression to ask for a letter of recommendation is a good thing to learn in HS because you'll need to be aware of it during college and beyond too. Pushing yourself to make that somewhat awkward request of a teacher is also good. Likewise writing essays where you communicate who you are and what your goals are. When your kid is planning to go to a fairly easy admit school for their own goals, you're actually in a great position to support their learning--push them to do all the application things on their own because the stakes of having them be slightly sub-optimal doesn't matter.[/quote]
