[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What surprised me is how many "top" students cannot read a novel, cannot write a coherent paragraph (let alone essay), cannot have a conversation or interview without staring at their phone and cannot think critically without being told how to do so. If you kid can do the above they will get into top universities.[/quote] Possibly, possibly not. We let our kids take their lumps and so kid number one went to a university ranked as “regional” by US News. He has great interpersonal skills and that definitely was key in his rounds with the big banks. I really now believe kids end up in the right places. [/quote]
