[quote=Anonymous]I think it is important to understand several things. Parents have held the kids hands so much as they grow up and then this is the first time they are away from home and add in the stress of school without the parents help, the stress of fitting in with a new group of friends, lots of freedom, and it is a recipe for disaster for some. Many parents encourage their kids to go to the best school because they think it is best but think about all those things I mentioned above plus add in they are trying to please you. This culture of must be the best, go to the best school, make the most money etc is crushing them. Think about that before pushing them to the best schools etc. When they are hurting they are very vulnerable............who knows what can or will happen then. Sure some kids are cut out for it. Some are not. I am really ok with my kids being average-even below average is ok with me. [/quote]
