In response to today's column, which you can read by clicking right here, my inbox is filled with stories of parents of college-age young people who have been pushed to the brink to get where they are now. The overwhelming theme is that parents just want their kids to be happy while in high school, and maybe even learn something. Most of us just want our children to do their best, not be the best.
I finished writing the column this week on the day my son visited a private school, where students are not assigned a class rank and no AP courses are offered.
He loved the place. Not a single Tiger Mother was spotted.
