[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people realize that the rest of the country—urban, rural, small towns, medium-sized cities—and they learn math and go to college too? I don't get the weird obsessive focus on the top 25—it's not achievable for the vast majority of applicants let alone students in general. It's bizarre that kids get the message that a small group of colleges is the be-all, end-all when it clearly is not.[/quote] I can assure that even in small towns the striving is no less strivy. When you're in a small college town, the children of the local professors exist in a separate bubble of striving and competitiveness. [/quote] I don’t think OP wanting her kid to be on track for Alg I in 8th grade is “striving.” That is a fairly normal progression [/quote]
