<p>That is an interesting thought about pressures on faculty members kids, Marian.</p>
<p>Seems ironic that often people asks for data or information to support a comment or observation posted, but if someone posts something that happens to be about a specific population, it is de facto labelled as racist. It is unfortunate if some are offended by the articles. As was mentioned above, it should be a wake-up call to a rising problem. Our goal should be to save lives. Not to bicker over whether an article is relevant, or a discussion is uncomfortable. The pressure on many students to achieve is frightening. If there is information or research about a specific population, why not address it?</p>
<p>There is a thread going now about a student whose parents will only pay for him to go to a top 20 school, but many of the schools on his list are not in the top 20, and they are schools he likes. They are great schools, but just not in the top 20. Its an interesting read.</p>
