[quote=Anonymous]There is no magic answer here because all kids are different, and all families are different. Kids have a range of academic abilities and interests, and parents have different expectations. My daughter goes to a school that people warned us was a "pressure cooker" when we were selecting upper schools. But her instinct was that she liked the school a lot, and our instincts told us that she would do fine there. So far she hasn't experienced much stress and she has a small group of friends who seem happy with the experience. She doesn't do sports but is very committed to an extracurricular activity that is as time intensive as sports. The key is to know your own kid.[/quote]
