[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve taken care to not discuss “Big 3” schools or anything of that nature around DD 14 as she applies to high schools. However, I guess she heard about it from friends or something, because it’s looking like she will not be going to a “Big 3” school next year but her friends mostly are. They are always rejoicing about their academic prospects, while she feels hers are nonexistent and she’ll never get into college. This is so heartbreaking to me. How do I comfort my child and show her that a Big 3 school is not everything?[/quote] Show her pictures of children in Gaza. Talk to her about the 100+ girls killed while at school in Iran.[/quote] Ah, the fallacy of relative privation. [/quote]
