[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why the anti academic parents feel any pressure because other kids work harder?

If you think kids should not care as much about academic performance, rankings, or try to win math or spelling competition then why on earth do you feel any pressure from the kids who do do these things?

Other than white privilege and being struck by the idea that it is no longer a nerdy white boy winning the awards but a nerdy asian girl or boy, what is your concern?[/quote]

DP.. I agree that is a concern, but who is to say what is too much pressure in general. You want it to be challenging for your kids but not too challenging, because otherwise, that's too much pressure. But, the next kid  might be fine with the challenge. Who decides where the line is?

Maybe the pressure comes from you as the parent?  If you are the type of parent who wants your kid to get into a magnet program, or to a top college, and fret that they can't get in, maybe you are the one putting too much pressure on them?[/quote]
