[quote] I do know kids at Latin - even those who sadly, fatally, don't make it into Harvard or MIT -- also enjoy the heck out of HS at the same time. For me, engagement with learning, a great teacher and peer group and responsive administration meant more than ANYTHING while raising our child in the teen years.

"But American youth, especially teens, are not in good emotional shape. They feel mostly “bored and checked out” at school, according to adolescence scholar Larry Steinberg. Academically, they are underachieving when compared to youth in other developed nations. And their mental health is declining. During the school year, their stress has edged beyond that of adults, according to a survey of the American Psychological Association last year. They rank in the bottom quarter among other developed nations on measures of well-being, life-satisfaction, and relationship quality, according to a recent UNICEF study. "
