[quote=Anonymous]We're in a different community but hear some of the same grumblings. The parents who complain about the academic pressure are often the same parents who have their kids in multiple and/or elite sports, dance, etc. I have no issue with that btw, but it's a choice on how to spend time. Kids who play a lot of baseball will probably be great at baseball- kids who take that time to study for spelling bees will probably win spelling bees. Schools can respond by doing different tracks for students- just like sports. The hardworking, talented students can be in the academic equivalent of travel sports. I'm white and my DS is in a selective, accelerated math program. Yes, there are more Asian students in this program, but what I see from all the parents so far, is support, not pushing. We see this program as an opportunity. [/quote]
