[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great kids, but[b] their competitive parents [/b]are a different question.[/quote]

How do you know their parents are competitive? My kids spent 15 years (MS/HS) in MCPS magnet program. In 15 years, I have never met a so-called competitive parent. All parents seem nice to me. They are concerned about their kids just like all parents are (or should be). [/quote]

I'm guessing that you're on the competitive-parent end of the scale yourself.

Competitive parents are a thing in the magnet programs. That doesn't mean that all magnet parents are competitive, or that no non-magnet parents are competitive. But there are definitely competitive magnet parents[/quote]

What does that mean? Do they take the test for kids? Do they poison other kids?? [/quote]

DP.  I was picking up my kid from a birthday party and had another parent from the CES just flat out asked me 'which program[b]S[/b] are you using to prep for the middle school test?'  That was literally the first thing they said to me.  Not if, but which ones (plural).  Thankfully that hasn't been our experience with most of the parents, but they are out there.  We've also met some pretty awesome ones along the way as well.[/quote]
