[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) What are you teaching your children when you pull strings to engineer their (so called) accomplishments?

2) Why would you want your child at a college that is over their heads? That would be setting them up for struggle, low self esteem and possible failure (unless you have some plan to engineer their grades).

It is not to late (hopefully) to teach them to take the high road (=do their best, and feel proud of what they have achieved on their own merits -- not their parents' connections) [/quote]

Who said anything about putting the child at a college that is over his head?  OP's child may have the stats for the school in question, but so do thousands of other students.  I would never put my child where they would struggle, but if my contacts can help get them an interview over an equally qualified candidate, I'll make the call.  If my contacts can be the deciding factor for something my child if fully qualified for, I'll make the call.  You live in a bubble if you don't think that's how life works.  Stay on your high road and I'll live in the real world. [/quote]
