[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with you. My child is only in 8th grade so I don't have any advice, but I agree that the expectation that everyone get all As is damaging.[/quote] Respectfully, you are part of the problem. If you have an 8th grader, why are you on this forum?[/quote] NP. I started reading this forum when my eldest was in 8th grade. That’s when this pressure cooker culture first really started to get to her. You can’t keep your head in the sand, as a parent, because if you do the pressure cooker culture of the schools will convince your kid that they have to be a 4.5 NMSF without any contrary input from you. [/quote] Is your kid in private or public? My kids are both in public (gen pop at Blair) and neither one of them faced the pressure cooker culture. [/quote]
