[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids attended Einstein and ended up at NYU and Carnegie Mellon.  it was  a school where yes, going to college was completely normal.[/quote]

The truth is any kid can get a great education at any of these schools if they're so inclined. What most of these clowns are arguing about boils down to how some demographic differences impact a school's average which they confuse with quality and opportunity.[/quote]

The other factor is fear. Fear of slipping out of the middle class, and fear that their child isn't the type of teen to take advantage of opportunities and get a great education in any environment.

If you've hand curated every opportunity and moment in your child's life, from that first Haba block set right up through making sure they are in the "best" public school zone, how do you know whether they are a go-getter? What if they aren't? What if they NEED to be surrounded solely by kids just like them, or else they will find the "wrong" peer group?

On the other hand, if you trust your child and have been giving them age appropriate freedoms all along, you know that you can trust them to advocate for themselves, find good friends, etc. [/quote]

It's sad but very true.[/quote]
