[quote=Anonymous]It probably only feels over competitive if your kids cannot keep up. We live in McLean where it feels like everyone is smart and talented. There are plenty of kids who are average but would probably be above average in other areas. I used to say that I hated how competitive this area was. I wanted my kids to be able to get perfect grades and be at the top of the class with no effort. I wanted them to be able to walk on sports teams with no skills. My kids are all strong students and they work for it. There are some kids who are just super smart and that is ok too. I don’t feel competitive to know them. I think it is positive for my kids to be exposed to greatness. My kids have had tons of play dates, vacations, gone to fun school events. There is no shortage of fun. They have a well rounded life. Do they wander around aimlessly and do nothing? No.[/quote]
