Overbearing Parents

[dradel]

First off respect their view point. Wether it makes sense or not isn't the problem.
As a parent, and a mentor I see the positives of first first hand, I also see the negatives of it.
As a father I would want my son to show me all the scholarships available, and also the practical experience you can gain from it. It is also very important that they also know extracurricular are very important to schools!! One of my sons friends that graduated last year scored perfect on the sat and was not accepted to his top two schools due to the fact that he had no extracurriculars.
