[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids are pushed, pushed, pushed in K-12. Pushed hard, everything is so serious, [b]one "C" on a high school report card and their chances are over. There is zero room for failure.[/b] College is everything, it is the goal. We place all this pressure on our kids' shoulders and then they get to college and think...this is it? This is what I worked so dang hard for? Who am I? Am I more than an amalgamation of stats on a spreadsheet? Why isn't the college experience as fulfilling as everyone always told me it would be? Is this what I really want, or is it what my parents really want? If I don't want it, how do I tell them? Because I am not happy.[/quote] No, there is PLENTY of room for failure for those who aren't expecting/pressuring their kids to go to a "top rated" school. There are lots of very good colleges that are happy to accept B students, and students who do well there will turn out just fine. [/quote]
