[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have heard a lot of mixed things about the happiness of the students who attend Potomac. The recurring complaints are overly heavy workload, academic pressure cooker, and social pressures created by super rich kids. I have heard them first hand from families I trust, and where there is a lot of smoke on DCUM there is usually at least some fire. My point is this - give it your best shot, but if your son does not get accepted, pick his next choice, embrace it, and be glad you are not at Potomac. [/quote] Oh please. This sounds like sour grapes. Potomac is a hard school to get into. We get it. But to suggest Potomac kids are less happy than others is just untruthful. The school is rigorous. It's not a pressure cooker. Students can choose whether to take a rigorous track or not. It's up to them. [/quote] There isn’t a rigorous track. [/quote] And you clearly do not have a child at Potomac. [/quote]
