[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anxiety of parents and the kids should be studied because while I know that today is NOT results day, I feel so anxious as if it is! [/quote]

I understand it feels like a lot is at stake, but how we talk about schools and exhibit this behavior around our kids really does matter. I’ve heard stories of kids feeling like they had been fully shutout from middle school when they didn’t get into Latin. And my kids tell me what their friends who go to Latin say about being at a superior school to them.

There are kids at all of the Hill middle schools who are genuinely happy and thriving, and the number of higher-achieving kids attending each of those schools seems to be growing each year. Also, there are some major advantages to going to your neighborhood school in the community in which you live—and therefore most of your kids’ classmates live as well.

I wish everyone all the best this week, but let’s not crush our kids with our own anxieties. [/quote]

This x100

It is bad enough for parents to preach about their school and cut down other schools, but when the kids hear and parrot these words, it creates horrible dynamics between kids. [/quote]
