[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So.after all this, who wants the pressure cooker schools?[/quote] Yes. My DD is going to a school that has a rep for being a "pressure cooker." Our public option isn't great. She had several private options including some more relaxed schools, and she ended up picking a rigorous one, but it was not forced on her by me or DH. She is a naturally academic kid with all 99 and 98%iles on her upper school admissions test, and she has been bored to tears in public school, so she loves the idea of being more challenged. I have my concerns because we don't know what we are getting ourselves into, and I don't want her to be unhappy or stressed, but at the same time I think she's the type of kid who could thrive in this kind of environment based on her personality and interests. If it turns out to be a stressful disaster, I figure we can always return to our public option, even though it is not great.[/quote]
