My gut reaction to an adult using quotation marks around a phrase like "the system" when talking to teens is that it's a transparent attempt to condescend. I know it's not intended as such, but I'd change the title.
On the other hand, I think the title, as worded, is one of the best pieces of advice I could imagine a gifted teen receiving; I was strongly tempted to upvote the post after reading the title alone.
(Though I would choose a different title for the section labeled "It's important to choose your extracurriculars well", because that misleadingly sounds like standard advice from The System.)
Good suggestion, thanks
