[quote=Anonymous]I don't think this trend is new or that it matters much if you are in public or private. 30 years ago, taking 2 AP classes and being an athlete who competed fall, winter, spring and summer, meant I had practice until 6pm, then hw until about 11pm, sometimes 1AM every night. The difference maybe: I truly chose both the class work ( I loved History and Biology) and the sport ( I was training for the US Olympic trials), but I think many kids today are just pushed by their parents who are like agents, not parents, pushing their kid to have the perfect resume, not to necessarily find out who they really are.

In the Washington area you get that in both the MOCO/FFX publics and teh privates. In fact, some parents choose public eventhough they know the school offers less, because their view is , since the school is less competitive, their kid will get the Harvard accept. They weigh this factor in the 4th grade or even pre-K. Wecome to Washington: home to the insane parent. Hey, maybe that can be the new logo for our football team.....
