[quote=Anonymous]Where did you and DH grow up? Is it outside the area and is it somewhere more or less competitive than here? If you grew up in a smaller town etc., keep in mind that it is easier to stand out in those places than it is in the suburbs of DC, NYC, etc. where you are surrounded by a LOT more families that are academically oriented, so they will be competing to make sure their kids get in to everything from the Gifted & Talented program to junior National Honor Society as if it's the end of the world. Same thing with sports -- lots more emphasis on travel teams and the like here, where I know kids who go to small schools in central Pa where they can basically walk on to a high school soccer team because the school needs enough people to field a team.[/quote]
