Whitman has many legacy kids. Don't be blinded by numbers. I truly believe a
ABC has less chance to get into the 1st trier school if he/she is from
Whitman. Personally, I know a so-so (by ABC's standard) legacy kid whose
father is a Harvard alumni and donor probably, get into H while denied by
Duke. |

you should say if the parents went to a second tier crap school, then don't
send kids to Whitman

并不是我们能力不行,而是时代的问题。
而今,我们来到了一个新的国家,可是我们的孩子在大学升学的这件事上就是面临着不
公平的竞争。
要多体谅孩子的不容易,知道在Bethesda他们是和什么样的家庭在竞争,他们有多少的
各方面(包括人际网络)的资源。我们能做的就是尽我们所能给他们好的条件,尽量开
阔的眼界,平和的心态,人际交往的技能,自强自立的人生观,等等。

中心,基本忽视参与社会其他层面的活动。不过,随着孩子的成长,我们也会跟学校,
老师,其他家长乃至社区有互动。相信下一代的华人会比我们更上一层楼。
