It's really wonderful in some ways because it's it's unshackling kids from standardized tests that have been really difficult for differently wired kids.
But it's also really scary too, because we don't know if kids can go to school for four years and stay on campuses for four years.
So I can unpack that a lot, but I just want to tell you that it's it's a phenomenal change and some good and some very, very, very frightening.
Sure.
And let me actually step back for a second because I should explain this.
I have worked with kids, as I said, from all kinds of backgrounds and all kinds of interests as they apply to college and grad school.
But I have a a different kind of expertise, which is that
I have kids of my own.
And
One of them was just not a good test taker, has
maybe dyslexia, dysgraphia, some ADHD, a wonderful, amazing kid, but
the college application process, high school itself was really difficult.
Uh he went to college and he just decided it wasn't for him and he and he took a break and he's working and and thriving.
And so as much as I I you know, I went to an Ivy League school, I taught at another Ivy League college, I love all that stuff.
I'm very cognizant I'm very understanding that this whole crazy type A route is not for everybody and especially in a pandemic.
Now on the other hand, I have a daughter
Who
is thriving in Boston at North Eastern University.
She's just
Dazzling, I think she's doing great work academically from what I see.
