[quote=Anonymous]Silver Spring resident with 2 kids in high school who have been in Northwood cluster schools throughout their MCPS tenure. Within our circle of friends and neighbors, there is a spectrum of pressure, largely driven by the parents. Some were crushed when their kids didn't get into a magnet. Others, like us, were fine with their kids not even applying to a magnet. We've known kids who have graduated from all the DCC schools and all have found the right college experience for themselves, ranging from MCC to Ivy. Some of my friends drove me crazy during the school choice/magnet application period for high school as if it was going to make or break their children's academic future. Frankly, I'm more concerned about my kids' social-emotional wellbeing, especially after the last few crazy years. So we're in the laid back parenting and school pressure category along with most of our silver spring friends. As long as my kids don't live in my basement when they are 30, we're all good![/quote]
