[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a great article on how to teach your child to have no competitive spirit and be happy with what meager rations they are given.

Kids this bright are quite aware of who is getting into the schools they and their friends have been targeting for 2 or 3 years and they can see the reverse discrimination and unfairness at play. They are not 2 year olds looking for moms reaction on this.

Maybe responsible parenting is acknowledging that while top schools are a stretch for everyone, it IS unfair that qualities outside of their control and baseless to achievement are getting prioritized over what should matter and thus impacting your child's results.  It's not fair and there is nothing we can do.

But that they will still go to a good school and because they are brilliant they will make the best of it. The world will level out once they get past the insanity/bubble of college admissions because in the real world results matter more than checking a demographic box and brilliance and hard work will pay off, regardless of liberal agendas.

Companies focus on things that matter and so while this phase of life will illustrate to them the unfairness of racism of discrimination, the good news is that they will be past this BS in four years.

That is the article I would write.[/quote]

Holy entitled brat!  [b]Maybe [/b]they just picked up on these kids messed up superiority complexes and said no thanks.[/quote]

No, there is no "maybe" here. The affirmative action folks are very clear about this. They just think there are too many Asians and that's something they want to change. If "superiority complex" was an issue, the California university systems wouldn't be so dominated by Asians.

Face it, you support racists practicing racist policies, because you are a racist at heart.

[b]Go on thinking that your kid was a shoe-in for Harvard[/b] and the only thing that kept her out was being asian.  That will serve you so well.

I the mean time, you poor victimized kid better go out and get herself an education and carry on.  Harvard is a good school but there are many many others.[/quote]

Strawman, no one claimed that. To the contrary, I very clearly argued that there is no superiority complex. [/quote]

Harvard or it's Ilk.  Tired of the whining and complaining about college admissions.  Waste of time.  Go with the best option your kid has and don't look back.  No one is entitled to go to MIT or Princeton or wherever.[/quote]
