<p>Many regrettable situations. A bright kid goes to a school where he gets lots of $, is bored, frustrated with his/her peer group, and drifts away from academics. </p>
<p>This happened to a boy I knew. He could still get all A’s but got heavily into drug abuse. </p>
<p>My point is, we don’t have the crystal boy. Some kids love the challenges and peers of a reach school, others don’t. It is best when we look at our children realistically and put their needs and style above our bragging rights. </p>
