[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm honestly confused why parents would allow their child to take seven academic classes at once -- or even six if it is running the child ragged. And "to get into college" is not a great answer (although indeed it might explain the behavior) -- a student with good grades and good board scores has many choices if the parent does not get hung up on 8-10 "name brands."[/quote] True that. My kid got decent SATs, was an A- student on average (or B+) and got into the engineering programs at Delaware, Mason, and two small colleges. All had good programs. You do a great disservice to your kids if you force a round peg into up your square hole. A kid who feels pushed will ultimately rebel[/quote]
