[quote=Anonymous]There was a recent issue of Saxon Scope published by the students in which the opinion talked about the elitism culture at Langley. Then a subsequent issue had another sophomore taking issue with the opinion. Her mom was extremely upset from the editorial. The parents that are hyper achievers and pushing their kids over the top never see themselves as part of the issue. They don't just start at high school, there are insane postings on this board about gaming the AAP and tests and lawyers and where to move. Things I never thought about and never thought other parents thought about. So I think OP would fit right in with the other moms at Langley. do not give it a second thought. but another option is rather than talking to the other parents, you might want to talk to your own child and teachers. somehow I doubt you would ask these same questions of the teachers and counselors.

Some quotes about elitism at Langley, Saxon Scope, page 16, April 2014

"Yet, the primary issue with many NOVA parents is that they're reproductive narcissists. They create copies of themselves in their children to vicariously relieve their glory days. Those very parents that drown themselves in their own success eventually end up rubbing their feelings of superiority onto their children, who unfortunately, crowd the halls of Langley, leaving us to endure their arrogance and silently wonder if we are the same."
