[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is all so exhausting. I’m already living in the horrific dystopia you are imagining — a school with 50+% FARMS — and it’s FINE. Actually better than fine. My child is thriving.[/quote]

You think that your child is thriving because half of your child's peers can't pass basic grade level tests. Its EASY to think you are doing great when the competition is so low and the bar set even lower. Do you play sports with people over 95 years old? I bet you're a real athlete and just thriving at that sport. [/quote]
DP... wow, you're an a$$.

If a student is taking all APs/honors, getting straight As and at the same time have great after school activities that the student enjoys, and a great social group, isn't that person "thriving"?  I bet such a student is happier and has a pretty good chance of getting into a great university compared to a student at wealthy school who is miserable trying to keep up with the high pressure cooker environment, and who has to self medicate to cope with not just peer pressure but parental pressure.
