[quote=Anonymous]Actually, many parents would like their kids to chill, work part time, etc. But if a kid is aiming at a very selective school, there is an objective external pressure to make this summer count, especially if it is a way to demonstrate a passion /interest. If your kid wants to go to UMD and already has a high grades and high SATs, he probably can chill. If he wants to go to Princeton it's another story. That's just the way it is these days. Next summer -- after graduation -- he can relax either way if he wants. . . [/quote]
