[quote=Anonymous]Also, I see two very different buckets of academic pressure. The first is high achieving, successful parents who have high expectations for their kids and willing to pay for the best resources. You’re in the private school forum here, so most of the crowd will fall into this bucket. This group is also more likely to be in tune with mental health and have their stressed out kid in therapy for all the academic pressure they surround them with. Then you have the good old fashioned tiger parents, which are not always but often from academic-focused immigrant groups (see Amy Chua’s book if you need a full explanation!) I think DMV has large pockets but demographically not as much as NY/NJ/CA. [/quote]
