[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We knew that a pressure cooker wouldn’t be great for him. And we decided that there are benefits to him getting near perfect grades with a moderate amount of effort. It’s not zero effort - it’s a moderate amount. Enough that he has free time each evening even with sports. And we like that. It’s not the right decision for everyone, but he’s a sensitive perfectionist. I was worried for his mental health if we put him in a very aggressively competitive place.[/quote] I love this post so much. It mirrors my views exactly. I'd much rather have my child slightly unchallenged academically in a way that leaves much more time for extracurricular activities/sleep/fun with friends than challenged to the max and less time for non-academic pursuits.[/quote]
