[quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who thinks school is too stressful and wants the school board to do away with all AP classes. She wants to feel happy that her kid is just average or even slightly below and doesn't want her kid to feel bad that she isn't taking AP classes. She thinks this means that there shouldn't be AP classes for anyone. Her kid is years away from high school so I'm not sure why she is so into this but she is arguing with other moms who think AP classes are good. She keeps making judgmental comments about how they are just pushing their kids.

My kids are in middle school so we haven't thought about this yet and don't really care right now but her comments reminded me of all the mommy war stuff from infancy..CIO vs co-sleeping, formula vs breastfeeding, WOHM vs SAHM. It may be her personality and she was one of the few people I knew in real life that made judgmental comments about parenting stuff when the kids were little but is this something to look forward down the road? Do the mommy parenting wars restart when the kid's start getting older again? [/quote]
