[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids tend to know more about the process than you think. My son, who isn't close to the top of the class, knows what's impressive and what is not. Last year we had a Standford and Princeton admit. He is more impressed with the CMU engineering admits than those two who applied to a random humanities major.[/quote] Hold up. Are you saying the Stanford and Princeton admits aren't impressive? Come on, now! Why do people feel the need to put down some in the process of elevating others? Maybe be impressed by all without feeling the need to compare.[/quote] The son is unimpressive and, related, does not understand what is impressive when he sees it. But he is young and will learn. It is too late, however, for the parent.[/quote]
