They don’t have to be there to get into a top school; they want to.

Or their parents want them to. Or they feel the need to please their parents even if they don’t want this for themselves. We accept that decision making ability is limited at this age and often substitute adult judgment for theirs when it comes to every other aspect of teen life. “They want to” is the beginning of the conversation about enrolling in a high pressure magnet school, not the end.
