[quote=Anonymous]The idea that a seven year old would be able to draw the connection between a college tour they took at that age and attending that college as a student is laughable. At that age, they *might* understand that the connection between "working hard at school" and getting to be a marine biologist or astronaut or whatever, but the understanding of causality is still so undeveloped. But, to go from "I walked around a pretty brick campus as a seven year old --> I will study harder as a high school sophomore --> I will attend Harvard" is so far of a reach as to be nonsensical. Plus, it's way more likely that they'll get bored out of their mind. [/quote]
