[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're just starting in 8th grade your DD is totally screwed. You need to start, at the LATEST, by 4th grade to set them up to be doing Algebra 1 by 7th grade. Their writing skills need to be very solid - you can't just start now. You should readjust your DD's expectations to something more like Boston College or Northeastern.[/quote]

Very funny.   You can keep your kid a virtual prisoner after school with tutors and work books and online work and math classes starting in 1st grade and they will still end up with the same end results academically as every other capable kid but not anything extraordinary.  The kids who go to Harvard are self motivated with excellent work ethics that come from within. Plus they have the ability to take in tons of information and make sense of it.

People in the Northeast tend to know a lot of Harvard graduates because they tend to stay in the area.   And they come from all walks of life and end up in all kinds of careers with all kinds of salaries.  There’s a college out there for everyone.  Nothing is better than your child finding his perfect match and loving his university .   [/quote]
