[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] That's Life, OP. It's been that way for years. You just didn't realize it, and a certain portion of the middle class from your generation was perhaps largely shielded from it at the high school level. You have to teach your kid how to cope and be strategic. That's all.[/quote] No it’s not “life.” [b]It’s a series of deliberate policy choices and unintended consequences of various trends. [/b][/quote] Which makes it “just life” at this point. It isn’t changing anytime soon. And as long as so many people continue to buy into it, it’s going to be this way for a very long time. (I’m talking to you, parents who force their kids to take the SAT 4+ times, hire college admissions advisors to the tune of 5K+, choose their kids schools, write their essays, insist on additional enrichment and tutors, force EC’s and sports…) [/quote]
