[quote=Anonymous]A more effective message is: Wherever you go to college or high school (and that goes triple for this area) you will find more opportunities than you can possibly engage. Your success will depend on how well you take advantage of the opportunities that appeal most to you, how you cope with setbacks and mistakes, how you nurture your passions, how you treat others, and how you use your strengths to compensate for your weaknesses. College, or even high school, is not the "end game." There is a mountain of research on the reasons children benefit from focus on the process rather than the outcome. Po Bronson, Wendy Mogel, and Carol Dweck are among my favorites on the subject, but put as briefly as possible: Praise children for their hard work, not their GPAs or their college acceptance letters.

A bit of a pet issue for me, admittedly, but one I hope parents will continue to consider.
