[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much do you let your kid make the choice? And is it irresponsible to let your kid apply to schools that seem very unlikely? We've talked about how Walls is a long shot with Bs on middle school report cards but they are undaunted.[/quote] Why would it be irresponsible? Not getting in to the school and feeling disappointment might be a great life lesson for college. It also might push a kid to work harder so they can have a chance to get into a dream school for college.[/quote] Yes, actually this is how it has worked out for my son. He's trying for straight As in high school after not trying as hard as I would have liked in middle school.[/quote] That’s great to hear. I know this sounds harsh but a rejection can be a good motivator in certain circumstances. Best of luck to him![/quote]
