[quote=Anonymous]Love all those who think this is something under the parent’s control. My DC never had a “dream school.” He even applied to a school ED, but was fine (and even a little relieved) when he was not accepted. On the other hand, I had another family member whose heart was absolutely set on one school and it was going to be very, very bad if she didn’t get in. There was no appreciable difference in the parents’ attitude in either case. The parents of kid #2 actively tried to promote other schools and talk the kid down from their first true love, to no avail. The kid was deferred (and crushed) but then finally accepted, so crises averted, but kids do this — everything is not the parent’s fault. [/quote]
