[quote=Anonymous]Nothing. Focus on the best education for your kids and not outcomes. We switched our kids from a grade inflated public to a private for high school—amazing teachers, smaller class sizes, “whole education” (not teach to the test), required world religions/ethics, etc. We let them do whatever they wanted for ECs. We did not micromanage. One is at an Ivy and the other headed to a private T20–which we never planned. They didn’t even think about where they would apply until summer of junior year. I think people rush through and focus on college while missing the experiences and growth in HS and it’s not healthy. My kids were set for life with the foundation their HS gave them—focus on the person/giving back/good ethics, as well as questioning, curiosity and standing up for those who can’t themselves. It’s a sh@t world and we need more than “finance bros”[/quote]
