[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. There is a reason why she is so attached to this school. Don’t have time to type it all out but it is an irrational reason and all the discussions I’ve had with her about it went nowhere. For those blaming me, you don’t know half the story so keep it to yourself.
We go to a high FARMs school. There are probably 5 kids applying to top level schools. Opportunities are scarce but she found them and did well with them. But not at the level a kid with resources can succeed. The school counselor has her hands full so she doesnt get the guidance and advice that some private schools provide. 
I thank everyone whom offered support. Being a parent is tough especially when you’ve dealt with nothing but challenges in your life and just want your kids to be happy. I know I can’t change the system but allowing kids to out all their eggs in one basket can cause a lot of pressure. And no, she doesn’t do club sports or other $$$ activities but what she has done, she has done well. I just want her to bounce back and be ok.[/quote]

OP,  don't compare yourself to others until you have walked a mile in their shoes. People think we are rich. The truth is I had to become a law firm partner so I could afford tutors and therapies for my child that insurance didn't cover and send them to a good school. Otherwise I would have chosen a very different path, lived in a different neighborhood and happily sent my kids to a FARMs school. I went to one and did just fine. Am I lucky? Sort of. Regularly work 15-hour days and barely see my kids. But my child is a functioning human with a bright future whereas if I chose a different path they probably wouldn't be.  So just deal with the hand you are dealt. Other people do. [/quote]
