[quote=Anonymous]If your kid is already miserable as a freshman in whatever advanced freshman classes she’s taking—it’s not going to get better if you push her, the misery will just compound. She’s certainly not going to magically become an accomplished well rounded happy person if she’s constantly dragging due to her classes. So, your plan is what exactly? Just have her be miserable for four years and either a) be a devastated failure if she can’t get into Cornell or wherever you went; or b) send a miserable young woman off to a cut throat college. And no, not all of us are pushing top 20 colleges. Neither of my kids is interested in letting US News rankings dictate the “best” place for them—that’s a decision that should take into account many many factors beyond a ranking. [/quote]
