[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wish we had not moved here. It’s too late now, but it’s so competitive and intense. I feel like we don’t get to enjoy life. I wish we had gone where the schools weren’t so highly ranked and life was smaller and slower. I would do it differently if I could. [/quote]

OP. But what does your kid think about it? Is he/she stressed out by the competition? Which high school does your kid go to where you feel it is very intense?[/quote]

I have 5 kids aged 20-15. They agree. They regularly remark how they won’t be chosen or recognized because of where we are. My oldest is a literal math genius and thought she was below average until she went to college because everyone talks about how high their scores are and how much better they are than each other. My kids work really hard and take private lessons at their “things” and that is all just to get into the things- not to be on top. It’s a race to misery. Not a race to success. We’re in the Robinson/LBSS/WSHS area.[/quote]
