[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18:48, Your same "stress" and "workaholic" concern can just as easily be suggested of many of the privates, public magnets and charters.  And, as they go into adult life pressures only continue in much of the working world.

So, what's the conclusion here - just blissful denial and cheerfully think it can just be avoided altogether, maybe our kids can just go to a non-demanding school that never gets beyond basic math, and get a job flipping burgers and kicking back on the beach, never having to work hard, or accept the reality of modern life and work on developing and instilling coping mechanisms and life skills for dealing with it?

I think another conclusion here is that at least some number of affluent and/or well-educated parents at the flagship school in Tucson are of the opinion that, despite its strong points (primarily good teachers, great kids, and raised expectations), there is something fundamentally wrong about the BASIS model, especially its most recent iterations as the model has gone national. The DC campus will be buoyed right now by enthusiasm, healthy trepidation, and excitement and so perhaps these comments from outside the bubble will be of use. Or not.[/quote]
