[quote]Many of my children's classmates were only allowed to do test prep. After a certain age, their parents made them give up activities in hopes of getting into a better college by getting high test scores. That was their goal. My kids were able to continue with their activities and do well in school and go to good colleges. The ones who have graduated from college are successful adults who are contributing members of their communities.

What colleges did your children attend?

[b]Top ten[/b] and [b]top twenty[/b] schools. Yours?

Those schools were not our goals. Our kids have done their own research and been able to find schools that were a good fit for them, but were not pressured to "get in" to a certain level of school. They were hardworking and self motivated. The kids who spent so much time in test prep did not end up with the results for which their parents were hoping. They missed out on a lot of possible learning and growing by having to give up the activities they loved so much. [/quote]

We know you are classic "American" afflicted with the intolerable national disease of [b]top[/b] this and that, [b]best[/b] this and that, and so forth.  Do us a favor just give us the facts:  the names of the colleges will suffice without the modifiers.  Are you capable of remembering the names of the colleges your children attended, Thanks?
