[quote=Anonymous]7:34 here. I'd say the confidence thing worked out differently in our family. Coming from a working class background, I was more confident than DD is. Basically, for me, there was nowhere to go but up and the academic demands imposed upon me were minimal. (Though housekeeping, childcare, employment demands were higher.) DD, by contrast, has felt like there's no place to go but down and has faced pretty relentless academic demands. Some of these differences are situational/generational but private school culture has certainly been a contributing factor. FWIW, DD has done just as well as DH and I did academically and wrt college admissions, so it's not a situation where there's any difference in abilities -- just perspective and experience. [/quote]
