[quote=Anonymous]The end of the rainbow for me is a thoughtful, inquisitive kid who can think for themselves by using their acquired base of knowledge and extending off of that with logic, deductive and intuitive reasoning. I want them to be better than me. I think most highly successful people around these parts expect their kids to go to the Ivies and equivalents (UVA, WM, Cal, Duke, Rice, Vandy, NU, etc etc) and they probably sort of expect a graduate degree in addition to that. Maybe I'm foolish and naive, but I expect my K kid to be in AAP if that program is taking the top 10-15% of their cohorts. I also expect them to have a decent chance at getting into TJ (50%?) but whether they get in or whether they choose to go is not as important. I mean, basically, if you grew up and attended GT programs, went to Ivies, did well for yourself then you pretty much see that as a reasonable, attainable baseline for your kids as well. [/quote]
