This recent article by a Palo Alto senior resonated with me, and I was just curious whether parents saw some similarities to boarding schools?
Do you think schools/districts are to blame, or is it the overall competitive culture of college admissions that we (collective “we” - parents of high achieving students across the country) are all party to and maybe help contribute to in our own way?http://www.paloaltoonline.com/news/2015/03/25/guest-opinion-the-sorrows-of-young-palo-altans#sthash.J6b5x9Mj.dpuf
I’d like to think that my BS student is happier than the author describes, but I can say that confidently 100% of the time.
