[quote=Anonymous]Ugh! So disappointed with how this thread went. Success in life is so more than "TJ". I dont even know what that stands for. I have adhd, and got full scholarship to state school. But I lacked a lot completely unrelated to academics. If I were to do it again, I'd go to my local community college and 1/2 work, 1/2 classes. Or maybe not. But the pressure was horrible!! Dh stayed home w/ parents until he was 33! He's got his phd now. I just feel like the culture pushes us to compete w/ "the jones" I want my kid to enjoy being a kid and be self sufficient emotionally and life wise. I wouldn't say "academically" b/c what I really want is for him to be self aware to say "I need help here and here, how can I solve this problem?" "Who can I ask?" W/o his self worth attached to the ups and downs of academics or other similar endeavors. [/quote]
