The parents who put enormous pressure on their kids and who are obsessed by test scores, rankings, etc, likely at the expense of their kids' emotional wellbeing. They're the ones who are frequently posting about percentiles.
Agree but it can also be the school. The magnets are academically much more challenging.
OP here- how does one get into a magnet? My kid will be starting MS.
