[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever. I still believe children should be rewarded for academic excellence. However "easy" it may be or if "they worked their butts off." It sends a message that academic achievement is a high priority at all levels. I'm sorry you guys have a problem with that but yes, I congratulated my son for getting into AAP. He was not coached so don't start.  He got 150's and 140's on the subtests. He has attention issues and works hard to stay focused so yes, he works is butt off. I am proud to have a child that applies himself.[/quote]

I congratulate people when they openly work hard at something.   I do not congratulate people because they are smart.   I could go to work and say , " hey, congratulations, you are so smart!" .   Don't set the kids up for this.
However, if your kid preps and gets in, then I do think a nice congratulations from family members is great.  Nothing wrong with that.   But, nobody else needs to say congratulations or even know about the prepping.   None of their business!![/quote]
