I come to these threads to remind myself to be thankful that I have a regular kid going to a regular school and who doesn’t stress about it.
I like to sit on the sidelines and watch these competitive people tear each other, kids and schools apart. It’s like theater of the living!
Some are just competitive strivers, but some are actually really great students who are going to thrive in a high-caliber post-secondary institution. They're proven they are ready for the next academic step and it is being offered to them. It's not all just about one-upping. It's pretty basic to wholesale disparage kids who go to Ivy Leagues schools just because you're kid isn't interested in academics.
It’s the parents tearing others apart, not the kids. That’s what I come here for.

As a parent of a sophomore in a top private HS, this is encouraging. Tides are turning to our favor!! Money worth every penny.
Relief! The cards are regularly stacked against expensive private school kids.
