[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Now that his class is in their early 30s, we can see that most are doing quite well. Almost everyone graduated from college, many from graduate school, and in well-paying jobs. Family support, guidance and connections matter. Of course, you still have to have the intelligence to get into and graduate from a top private. [/quote]

I think people are making this a money thing, but it was more about the coddling parenting. So I guess people seem to think these coddled kids will turn out fine.

The 3 kids I was thinking of are such weak kids. They are all unimpressive in every way. Two of them do have extremely wealthy parents. One is UMC. I can think of so many other kids like this at our private school. It actually makes me want to pull my kid out of private school. [/quote]

Parenting is part of the issue and expectations.   What are you doing to set up your kids for success.  Being critical of others is silly.  [/quote]

My kids are very strong willed and spirited. I’m not sure I could control them even if I wanted to.

Perhaps it is just the personality of the child and the very obvious aggressive parent personalities make it such a stark contrast.

If there was a meek kid and had quiet parents not doing things for the kid, I probably wouldn’t notice. It is just these very type b kids with the super type a parents that seem to be overly controlled, protected, guided and coddled. It is a bad look when kids are older.[/quote]
