[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, only you can truthfully know whether -- perhaps -- you encouraged you daughter to apply to the very best private school to satisfy your own ego; that is, to prove to yourself and the world that you have raised a daughter who is intelligent and talented enough to succeed on her own merits in this world.  I am assuming that this was not your motivation.[/quote]

Why on earth would you assume that?  Part of the reason I try very hard to raise my DDs right is to satisfy my own ego.  It's part of the reason every parent puts in time and effort.  We just don't like to admit it to ourselves.  But it seems to me that perceiving reality for what it is yields better results than PC delusions.[/quote]

I now assume that this entire thread has been a put on.  The joke's on me and all of the other posters who have expressed genuine empathy, sympathy and concern, and offered well-thought out advice.  Candid camera, you can step out from behind the curtain! [/quote]

OP here...and no that quote is not me![/quote]
