[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the poster above about the supposedly supportive school. A lot of puffery about how laid back and chill parents are, when at the end of the day, it’s similar to most DC schools - full of overachieving families and overachieving kids who have a hard time dealing with competition.

Please tell us which school you are talking about - c’mon - it’s an anonymous board. Pretty please? Many of us worry about the same and want to make a good decision for our kids.[/quote]

+1 Please name the school. We are looking at a NW “Big 5” school because it has a reputation for not being a pressure cooker…[/quote]
I was not aware that any of the big 5 (by which I mean big 7-ish, since no one agrees on the 5) had a reputation for not being a pressure cooker. [/quote]

NP but I think Maret has a reputation for not being a pressure cooker but mainly compared to STA/NCS and SFS.[/quote]

Ill name it.  Social pressure and status pressure at MARET are  huge.  Bro culture and high intensity included.  Three of my  daughters friends have  therapist and have various medication to help with their stress. Mine included. Why are you so insistent for names? We are telling you schools DC, Northwest private schools, what else do you need?[/quote]
