[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your kids will be happy, well adjusted kids. Many of these "geniuses" are pushed by parents and end up succumbing to stress, afraid to try new things & fail, etc. if your kid is getting As and Bs, your kid will get into a good school and do well.[/quote] My DC was the classic well-rounded kid who is supposed to be out of fashion these says -- As and Bs at an excellent private school, test scores aligned with her grades and very strong extracurriculars but no big awards, etc. -- and she got into every school she applied to, all of them in the top 50 and several in the top 25. We were somewhat surprised because of course we believe all the crap we had heard...but not really because deep down, even though I've lived in this town far too long, I knew that authenticity had to count for something. So OP -- don't give it another thought. Raising a happy, well adjusted high school kid is an excellent long term strategy.[/quote]
