[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or any tough career where you need a lot of brain power and credentials* I was surprised to hear a dear friend say her daughter "just doesn't have -it-." I took that to mean she thinks her daughter is sort of stupid. Her daughter is 14 (and seems pretty bright to me)! I can't imagine lowering the bar or expectations already. I think you over prepare kids so they can pursue whatever they want at college. It seems her daughter is going to be nudged away from many fields long before college. Sad.[/quote] Just sticking with your example of being a doctor, I would say the same about my child. It's not that I don't think my child isn't bright it's that I know that going to medical school really requires dedication, desire and lots of hard work and sustained effort. My child is smart enough and when he studies can get A's but I also know he is just as likely to not study and be ok with a B.[/quote]
