Comment on Why Affluent Parents Put So Much Pressure on Their Kids

Comments

While I totally believe that undue pressure from parents would cause kids to be unhappy the narrative that follows to justify that pressure is total non-sense. I mean they are literally claiming that anyone that doesn't manage to go to an ivy league school for college will be destine to live in poverty.

It's almost like this article is a subtle dig as merit based admissions. Back in the day you you could get into an ivy league school because of who you are now those poor kids have to work for it, and it makes them stressed, poor them. Surprised they didn't advocate for getting rid of standardized testing.
