[quote=Anonymous]OP, you know that a "bright" elementary school student does not necessarily guarantee a "high achieving" high school student right? Especially if you are putting this much pressure on your kids already-- you run the risk of serious rebellion. Just curious- did you and your DH go to an Ivy? Why the obsession? FWIW- I did go to Harvard, and believe me, I run into plenty of people in my profession who went to non-ivy, non-top tier colleges who are much more accomplished than me. The kids at Harvard who had parents who were as focused on status and achievement as you sound in your post were the kids who were seeing the health center therapists every week and not enjoying college at all. Raise your kids to be curious and encourage them to figure out their own passions and everything else will take care of itself.[/quote]
