[quote=Anonymous]Hi PPs, this is OP. Thanks for all your input. Does all the pressure at HS come from families and the kids themselves versus the staff? This would be the opposite of our experience in MCPS where the teachers are stressed about the high stakes testing. This is what really impacted our kid. It seems that all of the independents do a great job in elementary and middle school of setting appropriate expectations, giving kids breaks, balance, etc….Does that fall off a cliff in HS with the exception of the schools you recommended? Or is the pressure mainly coming from the families and kids themselves rather than staff? Granted, I understand that HS is stressful. I'm just looking for a place where the staff/administration does not make it WORSE. Thanks! Here is what I gathered from your input: - Field - Burke - Bullis - St. Andrew's - St. Anselm's - Maret Thanks! [/quote]
