[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I do not think this is true anymore, sadly enough.[/quote] I feel sorry for you. I really do. But if you're right, then your own little HYP overachievers will just be the first up under the guillotine at some point. Do you really want to live in a world that polarized? That's where you want to put your kids? What a way to live.[/quote] Well, I was a HYP overachiever and will like to give my kids the same opportunities. In DC, it does not look possible (for high SES, not underrepresented minority kid) unless you go private. Good bye.[/quote] You can't make your kid a HYP overachiever or even buy them into it. Lots of kids from expensive prep schools go on to what you would consider mediocre colleges. And kids from what you would consider mediocre public schools go on to very prestigious schools. Sure, peer influences matter. But at some point, your kid has to be the driver.[/quote]
