Less pressure if your daughter is not valedictorian. Life is important too.

And as for you, OP: don't be spilling personal information about children on a website. Nothing is anonymous.

I should have such problems.
My son has an expensive high school tutor. Thank God. It is taking him from barely sufficient to almost holding his own.

Hey OP,
Is your daughter prettier? She may end up marrying a billionaire and then who will be the loser? Hmm?
Now if this girl is better looking than your daughter, richer, higher GPA, then you can think of your daughter as Tonya Harding to the new girl's Nancy Kerrigan.

Yup.
Think of it this way. In college, your dd will likely have a better ability to handle the class load, while this girl may falter without hand holding.
Out valedictorian 20 years ago cracked under the pressure of the college she busted her butt to go to and is now not using her education at all.
That's possible. Its also fertile ground for other problems like eating disorders, panic attacks, or drugs/alcohol to deal with the stress. Perfectionism rarely breeds perfection.

Op be thankful your kid is not stuck in some disastrous inner-city or under resourced rural school. You are getting a hell of a long more than those kids.
The fact is that so many more children have far less going for their educational opportunity.
