[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much did college admissions weigh in your original decision to send your child to a Big 3? Many start far before high school, so the reasons for attending the school were not mostly about a great college, were they? [/quote]

The strivers start in high school. The secure wealthy folks start in K.[/quote]

My kid is at a basic public where we have no connections.

But I see this word "striver" all the time on here. What do you care if people are striving for the top echelon of eduction or work or whatever? Why does this bother you so much? I find it distasteful in a society where we are supped to -or at least told we do- value hard work and that hard work will pay off in increased education/money/standing, that people come in here bit---g that people are trying to do just that.

Don't worry about what other people are reaching for. Reaching high is a good thing. Being so judgmental about them doing so, is not so much. Grow up.[/quote]
