[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:05 I am not teaching my teen to be mendacious and wrote nothing that could begin to suggest as much. I'm describing what I've observed and discussed with other parents and high school teachers I know socially. Some of these projects are genuine, some less so. The larger point is that there is from a very young age a self-awareness of how to build your resume/portfolio. (Why this letter writer didn't get the message is beyond me. I think she heard it but didn't believe it.) I first encountered this when I volunteered when my now teen was in Sixth Grade. [/quote]\ She got the message, but didn't want to play the game. Not all kids do. And, believe me, admissions offices will soon tire of reading essays about your special snoflake's Mitzvah project to raise money for the disease-of-the-week by hitting up all your friends. That's already so 2000-and-late, babe. [/quote]
