[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid (at a CTCL) was just notified that she will win an award at this year's convocation (she is not a senior).

I am convinced she keeps benefitting from the small pond phenomenom. Don't discount how powerfully it can propel your kid to success. [/quote]

This was helpful to our kid too.

To the snarky poster who equates this with making a junior varsity team, you're missing something important.  Some things in life aren't competitions, and finding a supportive environment can help some students stay on track.

Maybe this analogy will be helpful.  Imagine a high school that offers a very strong math curriculum and very strong basketball coaching. But students only take math if they're on track to take two full years of calculus before they graduate, and students only play basketball if they're on track to get Division I scholarship offers.  Even if your kid is good at both math and basketball, you might prefer a different high school.  Your kid still might thrive as a math student or basketball player.[/quote]
