[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think there’s anything OP can do now but be supportive, express enthusiasm (not sympathy) about the school her kid will attend, and get the kid thinking ahead to his summer job and fall plans. You can’t raise a kid to aim for a top 20 school and send him to a public or private school full of other kids mostly grasping for a brass ring and not expect him to feel disappointment that he’s not won the lottery. At some level OP’s kid feels like he let OP down, and he’s going to have to work out his feelings on his own schedule. [/quote] Any parent who is "raising a kid to aim for a top 20 school" is doing them a disservice. Raise your kid to do their best, and be proud when they do.[/quote]
