[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me too. It's ridiculous to think they should want to do anything but build their academic profile in their teenage years.[/quote] It is a choice. If your child doesn't have the drive, brains and/or desire to get into a competitive college, let them be and be content that their career ambition is what it is. [/quote] Obviously it is a choice- the parents choice. Unless you are taking a hands off approach to see what your child's ambition and desires are? [/quote] Up to a point. If the kid is a lazy slacker whose only ambition is to play video games and smoke pot, expecting them to do the work required to get into an Ivy or equivalent is unrealistic no matter the intensive helicoptering. Also, nagging teenagers to be good students and take 6+ APs won't work. They are who they are by that point.[/quote]
