[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then why is there is arms race mentality to get in to Ivies and SLAC. Why not let kids have rich, rigorous, childhood knowing that smart kids will make it anyway[/quote] Not sure.Something to brag about? I don't have friends who'd be interested in listening to me telling them how my kid is going to Yale. I feel like my kid will make it anyway. He just needs to work hard to get what he wants. Nobody is going to do it for him.He is almost 7, told him that needs to study hard and I'm not going to give him money since I don't have any.He can go to UDC Community College for all I care, and show me he can keep his grades up and then transfer to his choice of university. He is a bright kid.We just have to work on putting some extra effort into his studies early on, and I think he'll breeze through school.[/quote]
