[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you want even more competition for few desirable college spots, OP?  Something tells me you don't. [/quote]

Not really, interested in the process that produces "coveted" college spots.   I was a free ride at a small no name engineering school sort.  Ideally, we forgo college altogether unless they get a sports scholarship or something.  Just don't want my kids to have to navigate some of these behavioral situations, that aren't their issues.[/quote]

You should be assuming your kids won’t get a sports scholarship even with that “elite” club they play in.  🙄.   As for navigating tough situations, that’s life.  Good experiences for your kids not to be afraid of the world.  [/quote]

So, you feel comfortable making it tough for my kids?  I punched a kid in my math class in high school teacher looked the other way, because I was the best math student.[/quote]

If you think that’s tough you haven’t done much in life.   And no teacher looked the other way because you think you were the best at math.   [/quote]
