Where will your kids get with that hint blossom is gullible? Respectfully asked.
She’s done a lot of her due diligence. Anyone can. Many of us see that when a confused kid pm’s. With just a general point in the right direction, some of these kids have that light bulb go on over their heads. It had never occured to them before, to dig in. They genuinely thought it was as simple as high school stratification. Stats. Big Man on (the hs) Campus. Founded a club. And more.
Then there are the doubter kids. The ones who repeatedly ask the same questions, who don’t even get why they need to see what the colleges say and show. “But I’m top 5%.”
People can believe whatever they wish. But it won’t get them closer to an admit. I often think of what the Wizard of Oz said to Dorothy: You always had the power…" Top performers have the power (option) to do their due diligence. Naysaying isn’t what it takes.
