I live in DC. I grew up in DC. I went to NCS. I know EXACTLY how its done here and I know EXACTLY the damage it causes. I would like some of you to come back here when your kids are seniors and you see what I am talking about. Miserable and anxious children, miserable and anxious adults. Adults who are living through their children's college acceptances as if it is a measure of their parenting. Adults who feel their children failed them by not getting into a top whatever school. Children who have been so programmed that they are hugely successful in whatever they've been told to do and have not an independent thought in their heads. Or children who give their parents the big middle finger and say "you won;t it so bad, well I'm not going to give it to you." and proceed to pretty much intentionally screw up. I've seen all of this in children of parents just like you. This is about your ego and not your child's well-being.[/quote]

Exactly. There are many paths to a successful & happy life. Getting into a top college isn't the be all & end all. Allow your kid to enjoy the last few years of childhood as it goes far too quickly.[/quote]
