<p>T26E4: I do understand but cann't help it as you yourself said 8 outof 10 presidential candidates graduated at Yale and so do the Silicon Valley CEO that comes from Stanford.</p>
<p>It is this statistics only that generate passion to attend these schools.</p>
<p>I understand this frenzy is not good but do you think we can just let our child lay back and goto community college.</p>
<p>I strongly feel that children who works to get into these colleges and couldn't make are the ones who go to other college and shine in their future giving us statistics that children from other colleges also make it big but the fact remains that these children are those who actually worked hard for these elite colleges but couldn't make it but since these children have very strong base they do succeed in life from other colleges too.</p>
<p>so I don't think we are making our children childhood miserable as if they don't make it to Ivies they still be so prepared that they will outshine at other colleges.</p>
