You need to take some pride in your own children's accomplishments, talk to any adult whose parents weren't invested in thier success and you will see that is far more damaging to a child's self esteem than being over invested. However, you also need to respect that your children are not just mini yous and you have to have their best interests. For example I would send my DC to our zoned shcool over NEST because I don't think it would be good for her. On the other hand, I'll probably tell everyone I meet that she did score high enough.

We have faith that our dc doesn't need a "peer group" or some other stamp of approval. He's a great kid. He'll do fine at a school that makes sense for him, not that makes sense for us.

In NYC, schools have been dropping the AP designation from their classes so that teachers (and students) can have more leeway in the curriculum of the class - including going beyond the regulated AP curriculum. Maybe an upshot of that happening is also so that the kids will choose classes that they want to take, instead of being pushed by their parents into taking AP-AP-AP. [ Reply | More

This is a nice age, they sleep through the night, smile at you, but aren't mobile. I felt this way with #1. It took me 4 years to decide to have another though [ Reply | More
