[quote=Anonymous]HAVE to clap for these two parents: <<let them be who they are and hope that when the time comes they will find a school who appreciates them for who they are and what they’ve done. We know for she’s not likely competitive at the top 50 or 100 schools for many reasons and we are all ok with that. We are focused on helping her find a place where she will learn and grow and thrive.>> <<You can definitely hire a good college consultant. And I don’t judge people who do...This particular thing it was important for me to do with my kids. For a number of reasons....I know my kid better than anyone...This is the first big decision my kid makes...So you walk through it together, one step at a time. And in the end, he hopefully knows how to make next big decision. And lastly because the time I have left is limited and precious. I want to be there.....seeing him fly for the first time? It’s the most rewarding thing I have had happen in my life. It not Harvard. But it a great school for him, he’s happy, he’s getting good grades, he’s made good friends, he’s making smart choices. DH and I did it. We created a good adult. Priceless.>> Such healthy approaches!!! Parents with kids in high school, not all advice is created equal. I would take what these two parents are saying TO THE BANK!![/quote]
