[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are talking about 13 and 14 year olds and some of you expect them to have “elite” achievements - whatever that means. Having someone to drive you home after staying late for a club that performs well because affluent families shove money and time into it is not an elite achievement. And seriously, we are talking about admittance to a public high school; you don’t even need an “elite” achievement to get into an elite college.[/quote]

Good job with completely devaluing kids' achievements.  Is that really how you see kids who make it to Mathcounts State?  Or who qualify for AIME in middle school?  Or who make it to nationals in Science Olympiad?  You think they're merely products of affluent families shoving time and money into an activity and not in any way showing the child's merit, aptitude, or effort?  Go ahead.  Try shoving time and money into something for your child.  I bet your child won't even come close to the kids winning the awards.[/quote]
