[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why as parents are  you conveying to your children that they are failures if they don't essentially win Powerball?  Even with a "holistic" approach how do you know that your child would be one of the chosen? For them - their extras will top other kids scores, but your child should be ahead of all kids w/ scores beneath them? This is not rational and doesn't help your kids. People in this area need to stop using their kids schools as their own prestige and take that pressure off of their kids.  My dad wouldn't put my high SLAC school's sign on his car because I didnt' get into an IVY (despite the scores but clueless to the college game 1st gen american parents) and only put on my ivy grad school and it bothers me to this day.  Your relationship with your kids is more important than saying they went to a fancy school at cocktail parties[/quote]

The stress on kids today from their parents seeking prestige is ridiculous and leading to mental health as well as many other issues[/quote]
