[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is 10 and we talk to him matter-of-factly about what it will take to be considered for a top college. We have also begun to take steps to position him on that track. I'm not sure that being candid about this to him and engaging him in the discussion is tantamount to active "pressure." Maybe passive. I'm cool with that. He has big professional dreams of his own -- which he can discuss intelligently and without prompting -- and as an adult with more life experience I know damn well that he can't just show up the fall of junior year and announce ok! Ready to work and get going on that college package. Well, he could, but certain doors will be closed to him. [/quote] You sound crazy. Poor child...[/quote]
