[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for all the typos and grammar errors. Most of the schools that DCUM thinks of as the big 3 Holton, Sidwell, GDS, etc are also considered “pressure cookers”. I’ve recently had a conversation with my kids(they have graduated high school) asking about the pressure cooker stuff and they said the school isn’t putting pressure on them that much but all the pressure and anxiety they had was from parents expecting them to do good. Has anyone else has this conversation with their kids? And how do you realize when you put to much pressure? What if the pressure breaks the child?[/quote] Pressure cooker doesn't mean that the pressure comes from schools. It means there's a culture within the school that leads to kids feeling a lot of pressure, that pressure may come from competition from the kids, from their parents, from academic expectations, leads to kids feeling pressure.
