[quote=Anonymous][quote]That's pretty rough - I worked hard as a kid in school, no parental pressure, no extra prep courses, not even any input into where I wanted to go to college....yet I ended up a high achiever.

This sort of statement assumes some pretty low expectations of a child's inner drive to succeed or own self esteem. All kids are different of course - but not all high achievers are that way because of an external drive instilled by parents. Some kids have this on their own. (and some don't, of course) Some learn it from parents setting an example of working hard and taking pride in acheivements. There are other sources that keep them from being bums on a couch.

Are you saying you did not prep with all that inner drive or were you just born a high achiever?
Can students with "inner drive" prep without "taking" an "extra prep course"?  
What does your mumbo jumbo mean.  I know many kids who prep bigtime without "taking any estra prep course".  Have you visited your libraries on the weekends?  Do you think these kids are just playing video games in the stacks?[/quote]
