[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the only reason this is a problem is if helicopter parents and Daddyball types are brainwashing the kids with their own dreams "I'm going to be in the MLB.  I'm going to an Ivy League school" rather than it being a kid dreaming about kid things.[/quote]

Huh? [b]I don't think you can equate "I'm going to be in MLB" with "I'm going to an Ivy League school". [/b] Also, sound like these kids are in 8th or 9th grade.  If your goal is an Ivy, not a bad time to start thinking about how you're going to get there. [/quote]

Why not? Kids talk about their dreams all the time. What's the difference? [/quote]

You think getting into an Ivy League school is as "lofty" a dream as getting onto a major league sports team? I don't think they compare.  Plenty of kids get into Ivy League schools every year - it's not impossible. How many kids get drafted? I'm an Ivy grad (Penn, so not HYP) and no one thought I was reaching for the stars when I said I wanted to go there.  [/quote]
