[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If possible, I would consider moving.[/quote] ???[/quote] I raised 3 kids in the DC area. Long story short, this area is very competitive. Our experience is that it is much more competitive, “exclusive”, than other areas we have lived in. For one of our kids, this did not play out well. For us, sports, band and other extracurriculars were not intended to pay for college. For a sensitive child who wants to fit in, this can be tough. Acting out can take many forms. Most of the US is not like the DC area. OP: Be grateful for a great kid![/quote] Hi, the competitiveness hasn't been our experience in her school system. It's an IB program and has a much more holistic approach. She doesn't really participate in any competitive activities like sports or band. We lead a very laid-back lifestyle all things considered.
