[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Answer is above. It’s a pressure cooker only if the parent or kid makes it so. School doesn’t care if you underperform, are mediocre, so the bare minimum, or do all the optional work possible. Well, the last one they’ll love you since they need your stats for marketing by and preserving the reputation. [/quote]
I'm a bit confused now. To me, a pressure cooker "only if the parent or kid makes it so" suggests that you can opt-out of that kind of experience. Which schools don't let you opt out? I assumed opting out was possible everywhere, not just at GDS.[/quote]

Don’t be dense.

At a boarding school or proper academic elite school you’d be getting calls and e-mails if your kid was slacking off.
And if you didn’t do something, in conjunction with them - such as tutoring, behavior, testing, repeat classes, mental health help -  you’d be counseled out by school years end.[/quote]

Unless you are an athlete or have a lot of cash. [/quote]
