[quote=Anonymous]It's not a bad thing. My oldest went to a rigorous private and is now at an Ivy and college is much easier than high school. However, this isn't a bad thing. Graduate school and many jobs (investment banking, etc) are dependent on grades. My Ivy kid and friends are all interested in investment banking and they're all trying to get as close to a 4.0 as possible. The NY banks are not hiring 3.5s even if you're from an Ivy because there are finite numbers of jobs and plenty of kids who ARE doing well. We know many DCPS kids (JR specifically) who struggled their first semester or year of college at top30 schools. It's not great for opportunities after school in this day and age when the job market is shrinking by the week and graduates are applying to grad school and law school in droves. [/quote]
