[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve taken care to not discuss “Big 3” schools or anything of that nature around DD 14 as she applies to high schools. However, I guess she heard about it from friends or something, because it’s looking like she will not be going to a “Big 3” school next year but her friends mostly are. They are always rejoicing about their academic prospects, while she feels hers are nonexistent and she’ll never get into college. This is so heartbreaking to me. How do I comfort my child and show her that a Big 3 school is not everything?[/quote]

Is she coming from public school? Our K-8 does a good job about not having kids discuss anything about hs placement until well later in school year when things settle down. Multiple emails to parents from the placement coordinator and reminders about not even wearing school related “swag” to school. My daughter informed me that kids have not been discussing anything and she has no clue where her classmates are going yet. If at a K-8 maybe try reaching out to the school or hs placement coordinator. I know this doesn’t always happen and it is hard as kids are excited but so far we have been lucky. [/quote]
