[quote=Anonymous]We are in the Langley pyramid, but do not submit to the "pressure cooker" atmosphere. We came in too late for AAP (rather, we were too lazy to go through the testing in elementary school when we moved here), and my kids have been fine. They take honors only in those classes they really enjoy, and will probably do the same for AP when they get to high school. I think a lot of the pressure comes from parents and not necessarily the school. In fact, our school discourages kids taking all honors - especially math - because it's easier for kds to get behind when they aren't fully prepared or capable.[/quote]
