[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have three DC and one is at an SEC, one in a good T50-T75 school, and the last is heading to an Ivy League school. They all got to their university largely on their own with minimal input from parents, no tutors, and regular, run-of-the-mill ECs. Congrats, OP but keep in mind some parents do all the right things, but kids can still go off the rails. IMO, I am justified feeling pretty lucky, but not sanctimonious.[/quote] There is an advantage to having multiple kids. You realize that despite the same parenting the outcomes will be different. Even the most well meaning parents have kids who go off the rails. The goal is not to get into places but thrive. It is easier for kids to do well if they did most of the heavy lifting to get into places by themselves.[/quote]
