This obsession with childhood min-maxing is not helping them. Stop worrying about getting your kid into the most private school and getting them a career where they make the most money and start thinking about how you can make them the happiest, and how you can raise them so they make other people happy too. There are enough ambitious assholes who had to wear a necktie to elementary school in the world. We need more kids who like themselves and more adults who don't hate everyone else.
