[quote=Anonymous]Son is a college freshman at a top SLAC. He prioritized having fun alongside a heavy academic (IB DP) and athletic load. He had many classmates that sacrificed a social life to give the best shot at the Ivy League & the like. Most of these kids did not get in and ended up at a similar (and one even the same SLAC) school as him (they literally gave up their life in high school for achievement). Our daughter is now in Grade 10 & is more 'tightly wound.' We have encouraged her to focus more on developing meaningful relationships/friendships than go for an A+ on every test/stress about finding some weird niche activity. [/quote]
