[quote=Anonymous]I would not be embarrassed. I didn’t go to great schools so how could I expect my kids to leap a few rungs and get into a top ranked SLAC or ivy or public? I’m the dumbest person in my super-achiever neighborhood in DC, at least in terms of Alma mater, and my kids do not match up with their kids on raw intelligence, test scores, etc. But my kids have grit, and perspective, and they understand that “success” is not where you go to school or what your grades are or whether you’re on ECNL vs lower club team. And great people come from everywhere. It’s not the place, it’s the person. [/quote]
