[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Head over to the college forum…pressure in this area is ridiculous. Parents freaking out and giving kids the message that they have to attend prestigious schools. And it starts before high school. My kid is in AAP and talks about how her classmates’ parents tell them they have to get into Algebra by 7th, they need to go to a magnet school. One of her friends is fretting over college in 6th grade! This area is intense. And even if you don’t buy into it as a parent, kids pick it up from peers. [/quote] This is why I don’t hang out with other parents at school nor my kid’s friend’s parents. I had kids last in my group of friends, it’s ‘safer’ and a friendlier interaction to hang out with them. Plus I get good parenting tips and they help me with parenting issues. To think it use to bother me to be the last in my group, not any more. They can’t believe how things have gotten worse and “unmanageable.”[/quote]
