[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think kids are smarter. But that top 10 percent are way more disciplined and focused than my generation ever was. [/quote] I went to Stuyvesant in the 1980s and my kids at TJ and his peers are way ahead of where me and my peers were. They want things I can't even spell[/quote] I went to New England prep school in the 80s and my kids and siblings' kids are way behind where we were. Not even close. [/quote] This seems to be a reflection of your family, and I'm not meaning to offend. I don't think standards to get into NE prep schools in the 80s were that high -mainly students from wealthy families. In ours, we were immigrant kids and all did well in the worldly sense, but our kids are definitely ahead of us - a greater interest in learning, more talented, more interesting and just as successful in terms of college admissions.
