[quote=Anonymous]I keep hearing how RMIB is a “pressure cooker” or “toxic.” Can anyone shed light on the program culture and what elements in particular might be stressful or harmful? I take it that the kids are probably competitive to some degree. Is that fostered by administration/staff? Is it pervasive, or just a fraction of the cohort? Mean-spirited, driven by jealousy or comparison? Or just kids used to floating to the top and now working hard to stay there? DC is efficient and bright and has a true love of learning but leans out on competition or ambition. (Leans in on collaboration and joy.) DC is nervous about the reputation, but on paper the program seems absolutely perfect for the kid. It’s been hard to gauge reality. Other main option is Einstein IB. Any insight helps![/quote]
