[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simply signing your kid up for what they want to do and ensuring they are doing good in school is not curating them. Curating them is about you suggesting / telling them to do certain things with the view specifically of college admissions. Not simply “you need volunteer hours let me help you find some spots locally” but instead “let’s invent a nonprofit for you” [/quote] One of my kids is involved in a popular tiger mom sport. It is painfully obvious which kids are there because the parents think it will help with college. When I tell people my kid does this sport the immediate response I often get is “that will be great for college.” That is not why my child is doing it and it will not have any material impact on their admissions prospects. Seeing these people who incorrectly think they are gaming the system is sad. And I am not saying this to be rude or Trumpy but a huge percentage of them are immigrants.[/quote]
