[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s just the dc area. Move to the south or Midwest [/quote] I moved from DC to a northern suburb of Chicago. It’s just as or maybe worse than the competitive scene in the DC area. Kids go to multiple activities in a day, basically no change of making a sport unless you’ve been playing since early elementary and the extreme pressure to get perfect grades. Parents know their kids are burnt out but they’re all convinced they’re kids going to be a pro athlete and a genius someday. Parents blame social media for so many mental health problems but i believe the over scheduling and competing attitude is far more impactful [/quote] Let me guess, your kids attend New Trier? You chose to buy in the most competitive area in Chicago. My kids are in a top ranked school in the western burbs and it's competitive but not that crazy. [/quote]
