[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anybody want to summarize what he said? [/quote] [b]Very quickly...pressure-cooker environment filled with kids who are not the "best" people. Treat you differently one-on-one vs. when you are in a crowd...overly competitive..etc. Results in lots of depressed kids / unhappy college experience, etc.[/b] Apparently, the Youtube kid is somewhat well known and started posting while in HS, and is a Questbridge kid, so comes from a low-income background.[/quote] This description fits the vast majority of DMV Big 3/5 kids to a tee-esp the part about acting differently in a group than by themselves. My kid hates their High school and can’t wait to leave. Watching this makes me worried that the same kids will exist in college too-but hopefully a way bigger pond to choose from. Why are kids here so damn vapid and cruel??[/quote]
