[quote=Anonymous]If your daughter is a top student at a private school on the east coast, I'm surprised she is just hearing about the college talk now. My kids friends started talking college and college acceptance in fifth and sixth grade. I'm sure it is different in public school and with average students but for the private school kids, most of the parents chose high school because it was a "feeder" to top universities and chose the grammar school because it was a feeder to the high schools that fed into the top colleges. It is just life for these kids. Not a lot of kids get into Harvard or Yale with a laid-back attitude. We do send our two kids to a great private school and they are good students but DH and I graduated from a small liberal arts college and have been steering our kids to that school. It's a good school but not a top university and they will have no trouble getting into it - thus less high school pressure. If they want Ivy, they can go for graduate school. [/quote]
