[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dunno. My experience - with two kids in college who were private school lifers at top DC area privates - is the opposite. I think most people around here push their kids far more than the norm. The DC parents we know are insanely tiger-ish imo. Expectations for kids are off the charts. The biggest parenting failure I see is not teaching kids to treat everyone around them with respect and kindness regardless of age/race/wealth/ circumstances/etc. So it’s probably who you are surrounded by and who you pay attention to. [/quote] OP here. Kindness is #1 in our household and my kid will face hell if I ever found them disrespectfully treating someone else. I suppose Big 3 private schools would have pushy parents, but most parents at our W school seem content to let their kids languish in their comfort zones. [/quote]
