[quote=Anonymous]We have doctoral degrees, and expect that our son will probably get advanced degrees as well. I wouldn't say there's pressure, but rather the assumption that he will do well in school and live a balanced life. We don't say "do travel soccer so it is on your CV" and we don't say "if you don't get first place in science fair, you will end up a loser at VCU." (I have nothing against VCU, but it is often cited as the also-ran here in DC." We have been clear that the money is not available for elite private and that good grades could buy a scholarship. Is that pressure or an accurate statement of the facts? [/quote]
