[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you think valedictorians and the top 5% in high school have life figured out, follow up with them 20 years later. That path often results in mediocre successes. A singular focus on academics is often detrimental. The well adjusted kids who strike a balance beyond academics tend to be the truly successful ones.[/quote]. 100% agree with you on this. I’m also the one who posted that the incoming students, particularly at 9th, tend to be academically very strong. I believe that some lifer families are making the decision to send their kid to a Big3 right off the bat because they fear they won't have an opportunity later and also the (hope) belief that their kid will be successful academically. I am pointing out the reality of the academic side. Look, I know loads of families send their kids because it’s convenient for them, they went there, blah blah blah. But, I still believe there is a cohort driven by fear and delusion. [/quote]
