<p>sylvan–sorry if you are rankled, but I don’t think our two opinions are mutually exclusive. </p>
<p>Some kids can travel the world and still be shy, or not know how to get around because they let the adults do all the thinking and planning.</p>
<p>And some kids can have skills and a certain outlook without having gone anywhere noteworthy.</p>
<p>I’m just saying, (as are other posters) parents can help the GC out by their observations. Or would you rather the GC, who certainly doesn’t know your child as well, just make up stuff for the recommendation, based on the 10 minutes he/she spent in the GC office last fall?</p>
<p>Edit: I think “travel” USED to be associated with having money…back when people dressed up to fly, and airlines served “meals” and did not bodysearch you before allowing you to board. :eek:</p>
