[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of college students I think the problem lies with “no high school experience “. I define this by saying that HS used to be a time to grow up, know yourself have friends, think, relax. Be a kid transitioning into a young adult. Now it’s grind grind grind. They still mostly end up in the same schools they would have anyway but they lost those years to the grind and stress. Covid made it 100x worse. Getting into college has turned into years of working towards a nebulous goal. When they finally GET to college… it’s not a 5 star resort … it’s college where you are supposed to step it up. They are too exhausted to step it up. So they get depressed. Also the culture wars don’t help. My kid at a “hard” grade deflating college said college was much easier than HS. [/quote]
