[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going through a similar situation (not Ivy related) with my daughter. Both DH and I are immigrants and have overcome a lot of adversity to be where we are now. It is frustrating when you see that your kid does not want to put in the hard work to succeed.

I guess OP's frustration is not only stemming from the fact that her daughter has no interest in applying to her ivy but she's more frustrated that her daughter is not achieving her full potential and is backing off because she may not want to work hard and put in the effort.

OP, if you truly feel your daughter has the potential to do well in the advanced classes but is just plain lazy, then push her and encourage her in whatever way you can. She'll thank you later.

If she truly does not have the potential, then let go and set lower goals for her that are more reasonable to achieve.

Thank you for this. I think you understand where I’m coming from. It’s not just about a brand. It’s about the hard work to make a life.  And the sacrifices for our kids. And wanting the best for her. [b]She has the potential [/b]but not the interest it seems. [/quote]

You truly don't know this.

Coming from the perspective of having a kid who has always shown very high math ability. I have some background in this area and some of the ways he handles math are very interesting to me even now starting high school. But I know I have to take it class by class and see where he is at. I have to be willing to alter my perspective based on what happens to him and view him as a total child. At any moment he may reveal that his level is very good but not the highest. I'm watching with interest, but until he has run the course, I can't really know.
