[quote=Anonymous]My expectation has always been that our kids produce their best effort, so as not to close doors for themselves, and that we will facilitate this with all our support (time, advice, tutors, test prep, whatever else). This is because I have one kid with special needs and one kid who is gifted, and comparing their achievements is not appropriate. So it's "best effort" in this house. I helped guide my oldest's college admissions process, and will do the same for my other child. They're reasonable kids, and generally we're on the same page about what a "best fit" college (or activity or anything else, really) looks like for each of them.[/quote]
