[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids are pushed, pushed, pushed in K-12. Pushed hard, everything is so serious, one "C" on a high school report card and their chances are over. There is zero room for failure. College is everything, it is the goal.

We place all this pressure on our kids' shoulders and [b]then they get to college and think...this is it? This is what I worked so dang hard for? Who am I? Am I more than an amalgamation of stats on a spreadsheet? Why isn't the college experience as fulfilling as everyone always told me it would be? Is this what I really want, or is it what my parents really want?[/b] If I don't want it, how do I tell them? Because I am not happy.[/quote]

Ding, ding, ding.

We had a parent on here last week who  said "my overachieving son was shut out of top 30 schools last year.  He is now a VERY HAPPY freshman at his current school.  Should I be pushing him to transfer?   :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

The parent is lucky her kid is still alive.  Her thinking is insane.  [/quote]

The kid complained about not being challenged at his current school. The parent was right to be concerned.[/quote]
