[quote=Anonymous]I think it is fine for you to value academic achievement! I do too. What some people may be reacting to is attitude you may be transmitting to your kid that the best/only way for them to make you proud is to get into an elite college. That can be motivating for some kids, and toxic for others. What bother me (a lot) is the “of course my kid is going to go T50 or above because he’s not a stupid lazy looser like the kids who go to (Salisbury/Mary Washington/Juniata/insert your college of choice here). You don’t have to be that crass for the fear and class insecurity to come leaking through. Just keep it at what is best for your kid, and be respectful of what is best for others.[/quote]
