[quote=Anonymous]Wanting your child to go to a top school is not bad, in and of itself. But the message you are sending your child from now until then matters. What if they don’t get into a top school (how might they think you feel about them if they don’t — that they are stupid or not worthy)? What if they don’t want to go to a top school because they want a regular college experience (will they feel like they cannot communicate that to you because your have been so focused not he top schools)? What if they get to a top school and feel like an underachiever, which leads to a mental health crisis (were they pushed by you to excel in high school and never developed the skills to succeed on their own)? Just some things to think about. I am more proud of my kids for figuring life out on their own than any school they got into.[/quote]
