[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens to these kids if they don't want to attend an Ivy League/top 20 college?  it seems that is all these poor kids are measured by.  And why does everyone assume that if they have good grades and scores that they will necessarily apply to that small range of schools?[/quote]

My kids are at one of these schools and I don't feel that way at all. I feel my children are highly-valued, and cared for, for who they are as people, as friends, as teammates and, yes, as fellow students.  My children work very hard in school, and in their other areas of interest, but I don't have the sense that they feel "measured" as you suggest.  [/quote]

Pp here. That's good to hear and I imagine one gets a skewed view from a discussion board.  Because reading these threads, it certainly appears that "success" equals admission to an Ivy League-type school. There is a sense of broad approval that a school is sending its graduates to those schools and fretting about which school has more Harvard or Yale acceptances.  [/quote]
