[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my kid's orientation, we (kids and parents) were told that their classes were going to require more work than they'd ever had to do, and [b]they were not going to be getting A's and B's[/b]. We as parents need to stop with the pressure once they've gotten in to the program they wanted (or even before). [/quote] What does this mean? They'll be getting only C's and D's??? [/quote] 35 years ago when I started at a T10, they told parents in orientation the same thing. For the first time in their lives your kids might not get all A's, and they might get a C along the way. That's what happens when you skim the cream off the top and put it all in one place. Everyone was in the top 10%+ of their HS class, and strived to excel. Now you have removed the bottom 90% and that is who your kid is in class with. So yes, some might not be at the top of the class by definition [/quote]
