[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What causes stress and crazy behavior is a[b] perceived [/b]lack of supply. Just think about when you see people in refugee camps fighting to get to a truck that brings in a tiny bit of food or water and there are too many people starving. People fight for survival. The ratings game of colleges, the extreme cost of housing and college, the idea that there are only 20 decent colleges in the country that will get you a decent life are leading parents and students to feel a huge amount of stress. But the truth is that their is no lack of colleges. This is all in our heads thanks to things like magazines that rate colleges or towns that you live in. No one feels they are good enough. To add fuel to the fire I saw in the WSJ the other day that more and more companies will be asking for your SAT scores. Even if you took them 20 years ago![/quote]

THIS is the post of the year so far. FCPS high schools should be emphasizing to the students the sheer volume of colleges in the nation and how there is a seat for every student who wants to go. Instead, they feed into the frenzy because it ups their rankings. So completely gross.

Thank you for posting such a level-headed comment.[/quote]
