[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is less of a pressure cooker? [/quote] Maret, hands down.[/quote] The pressure to succeed at GDS is largely self-directed by the students. The amazing faculty (and quite often, [b]their parents example)[/b] i[b]nspire the kids to aim high,[/b] and they do. But it comes from the students. But the pressure comes from the students. T[b]hey know that when it comes to changing the world, there’s no time like the present[/b].[/quote] These bolded statements are what make the GDS environment so cringeworthy. It is fine to embrace a social justice curriculum (like Sidwell) but these sort of statements belie the authenticity of your beliefs. It makes the parent body look desperate for validation of their "social awareness". Have some humility. It's good for your soul. [/quote] I read that previous comment as Parody.[/quote]
