[quote=Anonymous]My daughter was the most happy child I know....until she went to high school, where she was told by teachers, other students, etc, how if she didn't do X, Y, and Z at super-human pace, she would essentially amount to nothing. No amount of conversation with my husband and I could convince her otherwise; she was simply surrounded by it. When I went to the school coffees and meetings and saw it for myself, I was pretty disgusted. When the principal would talk about stress-reduction classes, I asked him why they simply didn't change the way they taught, so stress was reduced. I got a blank stare. What our kids don't realize is they are being used to make adults look good in their jobs, to raise the rankings of colleges, to get additional funds for the schools, etc. Combine that with an area of the country with some of the most competitive, snobby adults in the nation, and you have a recipe for disaster.[/quote]
