[quote=Anonymous]I take it you live on the hill. I think this approach is not uncommon. We are a former sws family that consistently asked the school for more only to be told that pressuring our kids to perform above grade level would be damaging to our kids psychologically in some way. These are kids without IEPs who were doing fine in school but performing just at grade level and not particularly jazzed about any aspect of it. We finally moved to schools with advanced programming and high-stakes testing and they are excelling academically and telling us that they are happier than they have ever been. They tell us that they like their new friends and find it easier to relate to kids who are more driven. I assume this will prepare them for “real life” well. [/quote]
