[quote=Anonymous]Students with the best outcomes are top of their class, and it doesn’t matter what school. This is because people do not compare themselves to the world at large but to the people around them. If surrounded by superstars, a person might struggle due to comparing themselves to the superstars. I doubt your DH will believe that but Malcolm Gladwell shared the data in a talk at Google. Gladwell has bestsellers—good to know since your DH seems fixated on prestige. With parenting, you are playing the long game ideally. Your child will not be forced to come home to the Thanksgiving table or to visit you or to have a relationship with you. Make your choices based on the fact you are in relationship with someone and not just pounding them over the head or threatening them because you like prestige schools. DH using his financial power this way and using threats is not good for his relationship with your child. [/quote]
