[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then imagine how unhealthy this obsession with a Big 3 School is for kids.[/quote] At preK and kinder no less! I am the previous poster whose child was rejected by all of the Big 3 for kindergarten. In a way that freed us as parents and s/he from parental pressure and expectations for the "payoff" of a top college, and let them enjoy learning, socializing, and growing outside the Big 3 without the anxiety of feeling like they had to live up to some early "distinction" or "prize" of potential. Yes, I know that most students at a Big 3 never feel the pressure to attain an Ivy League, or the anxiety of parent-driven competition with their classmates. The way you parent, as a previous poster said, is what ultimately makes the difference.[/quote]
