[quote=Anonymous]This whole area is a pressure cooker. If my husband's company wasn't based on government jobs, we would leave here in a heartbeat. The keeping up with the Jonses vs non English speaking. Such a strange place and school environment. That said, we have family in many other states with kids in high school and they also take AP classes - when they are ready. Parents around here push and want Ivy for their kids and deny them a normal childhood. Sports, music and set schedules all week and weekend long starting at the age of 3 Hours of homework. No time to just be a kid. Heck, playdates are scheduled by parents. Every week of summer planned. You can't even play with the friends you want on your time. Can't leave helicopter tiger mom for one second to ride bikes in the neighborhood. This is not normal. This is not what the rest of the country does but for a few affluent urban areas. Planning your child's day, week, year, and life is NOT healthy for anyone. [/quote]
