[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crazy hysterical nonsense? Give us a break,[b] many UMC Wilson parents pay for extra challenge and college counseling support, mostly quietly. [/b] Having been through the process, I know this all too well.

So does every other over-privileged parent (usually white yuppies from the 80's) with too much time on their hands, across every high-income district in the United States.  Don't blame Wilson for this problem, it's skewed away from the mirror you should be facing.[/quote]

It’s not true at truly solid schools.  Sure, some wacky parents will push to excess, but people seek rigorous schools because they shouldn’t have to do this.[/quote]

You are breathlessly naive if you think that parents at Walls, well-regarded suburban publics, and the most exclusive and expensive private schools are not doing this.[/quote]

Yes. Not everyone spends or invests in all of the above. But many at Wilson, Walls, Latin, BCC, Whitman pay for SAT/ACT prep classes; counselors to help formulate lists and support essays; pay for their student to do sports-year round/travel team to make them recruitable; pay for music or arts lessons/camps/summer intensives....

Not to mention tutors for academic subjects before the college madness starts. [/quote]
