[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I hear you all. OP here. [b]She wants a school that’s hard to get into.[/b] She’s wanted it for various reasons on her own. I’m really not a helicopter parent. I’m here to tell her you’re aiming for x, you aren’t going to get there without y. I’m a loving mom who wants to guide their kids in the direction and path they chose. She wants to achieve something and I’m part of guiding her there. I’m not a monster. Not an elitist either. It’s my kid driving this train.[/quote] She’s 14. What does she actually know about colleges? Why does she want to get into a school with a 5% acceptance rate? Your job as a parent isn’t to berate her for not getting A’s. You should be explaining to her that schools with such low acceptance rates are a crapshoot to get into, and redirect her to a more reasonable goal. You are very, very lost, op. She’s driving this train into a ditch. It’s your job to show her a more reasonable path. [/quote]
