[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school helps immensely. The kids start meeting with the college counselor in 9th grade. The middle schoolers see the older girls working hard and get feedback from them to pay attention to their grades and work hard. They reinforce what our daughter hears at home. [/quote] Same here. One was a private and one was a public and at both schools the peer group was pretty motivated from day 1 and the talk about college started in 9th grade. Maybe that's too much pressure but it certainly made them care about doing well in school. Also both went to a k-8 school and had to apply out for 9th grade so they understood the importance of things like transcripts and ECs.[/quote]
